For parents who grew up without the internet, social media, or mobile phones, the movie Flash Squad is helping to understand teenage children in the digital age.

The film highlights the challenges that the contemporary digital age has brought on adolescents, that could slip their parents’ eyes, but directly affect their growth and wellbeing.
