(2019, 60 minutes)
We are living in a time that has been described as the “age of loneliness.” Despite Western advances in technology, living conditions, education and healthcare, we, as a society, are isolating ourselves from one another and because of this, facing a health crisis that affects all ages, genders, races, and cultures.

But how have we become so disconnected? And what can we do to change the status quo and fulfill our potential for health and well-being?
Join wellness expert Tamer Soliman as he journeys through North American cities to meet with local citizens, community activists, and leading authorities on social, economic, and urban planning to discover the true factors that have profound and lasting impacts, not only on our health, but the health of the communities in which we live.

This timely documentary invites us to reflect on the relationships we have with those around us and raises the question: is it possible to overcome our modern culture of disconnectedness and rediscover how truly essential we are to one other?

Available with French captions: La Grande Déconnexion
La Grande Déconnexion est un documentaire primé qui révèle pourquoi, dans un monde apparemment plus connecté que jamais, les gens se sentent de plus en plus isolés socialement – et le véritable coût que cela a sur nos vies. Le documentaire nous invite à réfléchir sur les relations que nous avons avec ceux qui nous entourent et nous pose la question : est-il possible de surmonter notre culture moderne de déconnexion et de redécouvrir à quel point nous sommes vraiment essentiels les uns pour les autres ?
