Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen is drawing fresh attention as a new film, The Social Reckoning, brings her story to a wider audience. Starring Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White, the film dramatises her decision to expose Facebook's internal research.

Haugen told reporters she has "extreme worry" about a change in direction at Meta and believes Zuckerberg is making risky bets with AI. She said she hopes the film encourages more people to speak up, telling The Verge she wants it to inspire more whistleblowers.
