WTTR: "TIKTOK, BOOM." at Boston College

Directed by Shalini Kantayya, English, 1 hour and 27 minutes, USA, 2021

Join us in screening TikTok, Boom. as part of the annual Women Take The Reel Film Festival. 

What does it mean to be a digital native? TikTok, Boom. dissects the platform along myriad cross-sections—algorithmic, socio-political, economic, and cultural—to explore the impact of the history-making app. Balancing a genuine interest in the community and its innovative mechanics with a healthy skepticism, delve into the security issues, global political challenges, and racial biases behind the platform. Featuring Gen Z influencers like Feroza Aziz, Spencer X, Deja Foxx, and Merrick Hanna.


The screening will take place on March 20, 2024 at 6:00 PM. It is followed by a Q&A discussion with Kristin Peterson, Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication at Boston College.

This event is free and open to the public.
