The 30-minute drama served as a mirror to a number of situations that could arise from people's lack of media literacy. It highlighted the negative effects of widespread fake message forwarding, mob lynchings inspired by false information, and the dangers of sexual assault associated with relationships made on social media with people who have questionable motives. The dedication and hard work of everyone involved in bringing this play to life were evident to all attendees. The audience, comprised of students, faculty, and guests, responded with heartfelt appreciation for the impactful performance.
