The Social Account

USA 2026 | 112 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

In 2019, after becoming convinced that the company she worked for—Facebook—was encouraging violent and extremist discourse, Frances Haugen decided to leak the company’s secrets to Congress and the press. She met with Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz, and the series of articles he published about the way the algorithm negatively affects social-media users, and the company’s inability to prevent this influence, led to hearings in the House of Representatives.

After a decade and a half, Aaron Sorkin returns to the subject of The Social Network. As always, he presents layers of sharp dialogue, verbal confrontations, and moral dilemmas that are not always resolved by making the right choice. Sorkin delivers his most charged film, a direct drama that examines the political reality in the United States with a combination of anger and reproach. Through it, he seeks—as do his protagonists—to restore to life the fundamental values of responsibility, solidarity, and fairness.
