Tune in here for regular video blogs and, starting mid-July, participate in live broadcasting where you can not only watch Hal 24/7 but also participate in the making of the documentary in real time.
‘Peep Me’ is a documentary based on Hal Niedzviecki’s book ‘The Peep Diaries’, about how we’re learning to love watching ourselves and our neighbours. Forget pop culture: it’s Peep Culture: reality TV, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and so much more.
