In rural Tennessee, a 16-year-old is striving to escape a dead-end life by riding the new-age wave of boy broadcasts, aiming at becoming the new internet crush for coeval girls from around the globe. A fascinating and tender human portrait that dares to take a judgment-free peek at modern-day childhood and the booming teen rush industry, projecting the new face of the American Dream. An insightful documentary that approaches this peculiar world with discretion in search of its underlying codes and causes. A bittersweet tale of the starving need for love and validation, which sometimes paves the way for exploitation and disillusionment.
