Eliza : a robot story

Synopsis

A robot’s story of human love, dominance and manipulation that will force us to confront questions around evolving technology, gender dynamics and coercive control.

What’s the story?

When Eliza (Tanya Reynolds) falls in love with Him (Arthur Darvill), they work together to make her the first fully sentient robot. But consciousness comes with consequences. As Eliza gets caught in a web of both loving and abusive relationships, she has to fight to survive.

In a future that’s far too close for comfort, this is a story of human love, dominance and manipulation. It’s a drama, sadly, of its time. It’s fiction… or is it?

Created by an all-female production team, this is a ground-breaking eight-part original from Crowd Network. It forces us to confront questions around evolving technology, gender dynamics and coercive control. One voice raises another. And it’s time for Eliza to raise hers. This is Eliza, and this is her story.
