China is one of the first countries in the world to label overuse of the internet a clinical condition. To combat what authorities deem the greatest social crisis for youth today, the Chinese government has created treatment facilities to detox and cure teenagers of their online addictions. "Web Junkies: China's addicted Teens"(2014, 70 min) follows three Chinese teenagers inside a Beijing rehabilitation centre for internet addicts. It’s a thoughtful examination of a society in flux and a technology-addled generation on the precipice of an unknown future.
