American Sweatshop 2025

The 2025 film American Sweatshop is a psychological thriller and drama that delves into the dark, unseen world of social media content moderation. The movie is directed by Emmy Award nominee Uta Briesewitz (known for her work on series like Stranger Things and Severance) and written by Matthew Nemeth. The principal cast is led by Lili Reinhart as Daisy Moriarty, a young social media content moderator whose job is to review and purge the most graphic, violent, and offensive videos and images flagged by users online. Despite the soul-crushing nature of her work, which often leads to emotional exhaustion and dissociation among her colleagues, Daisy initially remains determined. However, her detachment shatters when she stumbles upon a particular video that appears to show a real, violent crime—specifically, the torture of a woman. Convinced that the footage is not staged or fetish content as her superiors suggest, Daisy is propelled out of the safety of her computer and into a dangerous, obsessive quest to track down the perpetrator and hold them accountable, blurring the lines between her professional duty, reality, and her own psychological well-being. The film also stars Daniela Melchior and Joel Fry and is produced by a notable team that includes Barry Levinson and Tom Fontana. It was an official selection for SXSW 2025 and had a limited theatrical release in September 2025. Read More
