Entangled in the addictive culture of media and technology, how do the people of tomorrow make the choice to begin consuming culture objectively. By disconnecting and reconnecting with one another, can we rise up, redefining our modern American Dream? Devised and created through movement, multimedia and satire, Consumed follows personal stories of distraction and downfall of Americans just like you.
