The Gendered Feed (2026)

Daily, users swipe endlessly through algorithm-curated feeds, letting machine learning dictate their digital reality. A quick tip on self-esteem can quietly funnel viewers into male-centric extremist circles. A basic beauty routine spirals into an obsession with flawless aesthetics. Simple curiosity gradually mutates into ideological extremism. The Gendered Feed investigates this invisible pipeline, following a group of emerging digital analysts as they map the mechanics of personalized content. By launching fresh profiles from scratch, monitoring how recommendation systems evolve, and measuring exactly how gender influences content trajectories, the documentary exposes the hidden architecture of viral culture. Through meticulous observation and data-driven storytelling, the film reveals how automated curation shapes modern beliefs, accelerates online polarization, and transforms passive scrolling into profound ideological shifts.
