What if you could erase someone from existence with a click?
What if you were the one erased?
In the Black Mirror episode White Christmas, we're plunged into a frozen world where people are punished—not by prison, but by being digitally blocked. No voice. No face. No human contact. Just a grey silhouette. A ghost among the living.
But it gets darker.
What if your consciousness could be cloned and enslaved to serve yourself?
What if your guilt could be manipulated like code?
This film night isn’t just entertainment—it’s an intellectual confrontation.
Join us as we explore:

• The ethics of technological punishment
• The commodification of the soul
• Justice without mercy
• Relationships under surveillance
• Nietzsche, Descartes, and digital despair

💥 After the screening, Dr. Sweis will guide a raw, real, and philosophically rigorous discussion.
Expect to hear voices from Camus, Heidegger, and Kierkegaard echo through the screen—and through you.

This is not your average Christmas story.
It’s a digital exorcism of what we've become.
And a haunting mirror of what we may yet be.
Come for the pizza and the questions.
Leave with a challenge to your soul.
