Teens Are Ditching Smartphones and They’ve Never Felt More Connected

In a world ruled by smartphones and social media, a group of high schoolers in Brooklyn is rewriting the script. At Edward R. Murrow High School, students have launched the Luddite Club—a teen-led movement that encourages unplugging from digital devices and reconnecting with real life. Their decision to swap screen time for sketchbooks, nature walks, and honest conversations has inspired a full-length documentary, now in post-production, aiming for a Sundance debut in 2025.

Led by a former teacher and supported by a wildly successful crowdfunding campaign, the film explores how this analog lifestyle is reshaping lives. From improved mental health to revived attention spans and even reversed ADHD diagnoses, the effects are startling. These students aren’t rejecting technology—they’re reclaiming balance and building deeper connections. Their message is simple but bold: life is better when you actually live it.
