15 Minutes of Shame (2021) is a thought-provoking documentary that delves into the phenomenon of public shaming in our contemporary society. This eye-opening film explores how the advent of social media has transformed shame into a weapon of mass destruction, with devastating consequences for the individuals targeted.

With interviews from prominent figures who have experienced public shaming firsthand, such as Monica Lewinsky and Lindsay Shepherd, the documentary sheds light on the profound emotional and psychological impact of being vilified by an online mob. Viewers are invited to examine the ethics and morality behind this trend, as well as the repercussions it has on both the targets and society as a whole.

The film further examines the motivations and dynamics that drive public shaming, interviewing experts in psychology, sociology, and media studies. It reveals the role of sensationalism, voyeurism, and schadenfreude in perpetuating this culture. Additionally, it raises important questions about the responsibility of platforms and individuals in curbing this damaging trend.

15 Minutes of Shame provides an important exploration of a pressing issue in our digital age, sparking conversations about empathy, accountability, and the potential dangers of online mob mentality. By deconstructing public shaming and its effects, the documentary encourages viewers to critically evaluate their own roles and responsibilities in upholding a more compassionate and just society.
