Social Suicide (2015) 15

A teen thriller about the devastating impact of one wrong post - loosely based on Romeo and Juliet. After a scared boy is arrested for the murder of two teenagers, he must convince the police of his innocence so that he can save his best friend from dying. However, his story is brought into question by his own internet history, the half-truths posted by concerned teenagers and messages beyond the dead from the victims themselves. When the police realize that one boy is willing to do anything for internet fame, even die, the stakes are raised in this nail-biting race-against-the-clock thriller
