Kristin Bride lost her 16-year-old son Carson to suicide after he was cyberbullied on Snapchat and other platforms in Lake Oswego. Six years later, her fight against social media companies is the subject of a new documentary headed to living rooms nationwide.

"Your Attention Please," directed by Sara Robin, will be available to rent or buy on Apple TV and other streaming platforms on Tuesday, Oct. 6. The film premiered at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas, in March 2026 as a Documentary Spotlight selection, the Wilsonville Spokesman reported.

The documentary chronicles Bride's push to hold tech companies accountable through legislation, litigation and education. That includes her support for the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), which would require social media companies to take steps to prevent harm to young users.

Robin approached Bride about the project roughly three and a half years ago. Bride was filmed for two years.

"What I really liked about her approach was that she herself had issues with an Instagram addiction," Bride told the Wilsonville Spokesman. "She was looking at the problem side-by-side instead of the outside looking in to what happened to Carson."

Carson Bride was 16 when he died on June 23, 2020. His mother has called him the "bright light" of the family, the Associated Press reported.

On the sixth anniversary of his death, Kristin Bride joined a Social Media Victims Remembrance Day memorial on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. The June 23, 2026, event honored 270 children and young people who died because of online harms.

At that memorial, Bride described her three-pronged advocacy strategy. "When one stalls, like legislation, then we have the trials and we have litigation. So we keep pressing forward. We're not going to give up," she said in June.

The documentary also features Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy and Center for Humane Technology co-founder Tristan Harris. It includes Trisha Prabhu, who created an app to encourage kids to think twice before sending hurtful messages.

According to CNET, the Oct. 6 release was timed to coincide with a federal trial in Oakland, California, alleging Meta made its platforms addictive to children and teenagers.

More than 25 digital well-being organizations, including Common Sense Media, coordinated a simultaneous trailer release on March 11 as part of an initiative called Stand for Their Attention.
