How responsible are we for the words we type and what they lead others to do? Tagged is Green Thumb’s new visceral portrayal of teen life that could easily been ripped from today’s headlines. Tagged cleverly questions the potential dangers that exist in the relationship between social media and young minds.

Imagine the suffocating darkness, the painful restriction of your limbs and the torturous fear of the unknown.
