This documentary reveals the enormous energy and resources that keep the internet running, a system that would rank among the world's largest electricity consumers if it were a country. It follows the data centers, cables and power demands behind billions of daily emails, streams and searches. The film weighs the environmental cost of a technology most people treat as invisible, and the role of big tech in managing it. It is an eye-opening look at the physical price of a digital world.
