00:02A person in need, ignored by passers-by.
00:05Then, someone starts filming.
00:07And suddenly, a crowd rushes to help.
00:10It's a scene playing out across our screens, making us wonder.

00:19a good deed often isn't just a good deed.
00:22It's content.
00:23The camera transforms a moment of compassion into a spectacle.

00:36Are we helping the person?

00:48What story isn't being told?
