Lo And Behold, Reveries Of The Connected World

Oscar-nominated director Werner Herzog chronicles the virtual world from its origins to its outermost reaches, exploring the digital landscape with the same curiosity and imagination he previously trained on earthly destinations as disparate as the Amazon, the Sahara, the South Pole and the Australian outback. Herzog leads viewers on a journey through a series of provocative conversations that reveal the ways in which the online world has transformed how virtually everything in the real world works - from business to education, space travel to healthcare, and the very heart of how we conduct our personal relationships. (It's worth mentioning that Herzog shot some of the film in Pittsburgh, where he spoke with robotics and tech experts at Carnegie Mellon University.) Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World opens on August 19th at the Regent Square Theater.
