Black Mirror: White Bear (2013)
Season 2, Episode 2
6/10
Making the punishment fit the crime...
14 February 2018
A young woman awakens to find herself totally confused. She can't remember who she is and is amazed to see people chasing after her with weapons and they are trying to kill her. To make it all very surreal, there are LOTS of other people standing about with their smartphones videotaping the procedings. It seems that she's the prey in some strange game and the results are deadly. But what does it all mean??

As usual, this episode of "Black Mirror" looks at modern technology and possible technology of the near future to propose how it might be abused. In this case, a woman is being horribly tormented and chased in something that is reminiscent of "The Jerry Springer Show" and a hunting show! Very thought provoking, I am a bit reticent to strongly recommend it because it becomes almost like torture porn watching the show. A bit too disturbing and vivid for many.
