Fort Myers Naples, FL, September 1, 2026 — Aaron Sorkin, acclaimed screenwriter and director, is set to release a new film this fall titled “The Social Reckoning.” The movie delves into the significant evolution of the social media giant Facebook and its profound impact on societal issues such as extremism and divisiveness.
