An Update On Our Family

AN UPDATE ON OUR FAMILY explores the complex world of family vlogging – a popular and potentially lucrative phenomenon in which parents post a steady stream of lifestyle videos on their social media channels to be consumed by loyal subscribers. The content often cultivates a sense of community and attachment for devoted viewers and can generate income for the vloggers. Through the lens of one family’s story and the sudden online disappearance of their adopted son, the series raises questions about what motivates vloggers to expose their home lives to the world and examines the wider issues that emerge when parents make their family life public. HBO Documentary Films presents AN UPDATE ON OUR FAMILY, a Vox Media Studios Production. Directed and executive produced by Rachel Mason; executive producers, Rachael Knudsen, Max Heckman, Chad Mumm, Mark W. Olsen, Jennifer O’Connell, and Lizzie Fox; co-executive producers Caitlin Moscatello and Marina G. Stadler; producers Jasmine Luoma and Julee Metz; co-producer, Arun Gulati; supervising producer, Danielle Franco; senior producer, Casey Meurer.
