Voyager Short Film warns us of a Tech-obsessed Future

NASA sent the real Voyager 1 and 2 probes into space back in 1977. They carried 12-inch golden records containing sounds and images from Earth as documents in case the probes were discovered by another civilization.

Written and directed by France-based Loïc Magar and Roman Veiga, the short 3D animation-meets-stop motion film tells a story in which the real Voyager space probe returns to a future, dystopian Earth. 

In the film, one probe lands back on Earth and is discovered by a 7-year-old girl of the future who has embedded technology as a central part of her life. After playing the record, the character goes through a transformation that is best seen rather than described. 

The film's central message — in the face of tech advances, don't neglect nature and our humanity —is an extremely important one. It's shorter than 10 minutes, but it is a must watch, and it will definitely make you rethink wandering around like a zombie staring into your smartphone!
