Wired for Connection spotlights the biological imperative for social bonding, contrasting our evolutionary need for connection with the rising paradox of modern isolation in the digital age. Featuring groundbreaking research, from primate field studies to advanced neuroscience, the film reveals the physiological toll of disconnection across the human lifespan, linking loneliness directly to disease and cognitive decline. Wired for Connection also explores a range of innovative, practical solutions, spanning ancient contemplative practices and cutting-edge technology, to empower viewers to cultivate social connections and foster healthier communities.

The film’s urgency is underscored by the work of key participant Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad, whose team recently released the first report from a new, 25-year, evidence-based, national survey on the state of social connection across the United States. Click here to learn more about the Social Connection in America initiative and check out this quick survey to evaluate your own level of social connection.
