The documentary "Web Junkie" explores internet addiction in China, following three adolescents through a three-month treatment program at a Beijing rehabilitation centre. Established by Professor Ran Tao, the clinic aims to cure children of internet addiction, a growing public health concern. The program includes military-inspired physical training, monitored sleep and food standards, and group therapy sessions. Despite the strict conditions, parents voluntarily send their children to the clinic, often borrowing money to afford the expensive treatment.
