Neon Zoo | The Speech Wars

"We speak a lot today about the challenges of knowing truth."

This three-part series delves into the intersection of technology and the First Amendment, exploring critical topics like deepfakes, online rights, and the role of social media companies as gatekeepers of free speech. Each episode dives into the impact of technology on our understanding of free expression and the challenges that come with misinformation in the digital age.

The Atlantic reached out to us to direct and produce this three-part series. We joined the project at its inception, diving into story sourcing by consulting with dozens of experts in the field. Their insights guided us to the three key topics of technology’s impact on the First Amendment.

Staying true to our "no style" house approach, we designed each film to reflect its subject matter while using a consistent color palette and titles to create a cohesive thread throughout the series.
