Missing

There are a few…okay there are quite a number of films that could be used as guides to help you navigate the current age in which we live. By this i am talking about a scenario where for example you need to get help finding a lost phone or gadget of some kind or maybe if you hit a dead end with the local police in your village. Granted some of these ideas may work a little better if you are in a country where there is some form of surveillance in place. There are those who oppose such major shifts in the modus operandi that are taking place in many geographies where for example under the guise of security and the fight against terrorism, many nations have found there citizens almost trapped in prison like states where everything and everyone is monitored and observed. Some countries are better equipped at this than others so average people need to get ahead of the game too. The ideas behind censorship and surveillance have been studied and written about by many. Perhaps the best and most adequate prophetic insight into a world gripped and controlled by this type of thinking is George Orwell’s 1984. Okay i may not have read it but i have seen us steadily drift into that sort of reality. While we agree that there may be some situations where some level of surveillance is necessary, how deep this goes remains to be a subject of concern. 

Here is a story from an actress who featured in the captivating and very well written tale about a few high school friends growing up post 2001 (911)-Euphoria. She plays the role of the protagonists sister. Supportive and brave fighting to defend her sister who she clearly looks up to but facing challenges of her own as she comes of age in a world she knows little about. Tossed to and fro from position to position in defence of her sister on one hand and support of her mother on the other. 

In this story she is a daughter who must harness all her resources to find her missing mother. And that is all i am going to say about that. Anything more would have me in the spoiler category. 

Watch this amazing film if you want to know what sort of resources are available to the citizen of most developed countries that can help you find a missing one. From tips about the use of Google Mail, Facebook (now META), to google maps to shopping records (for those who use Credit Cards) and much much more.
