In her acceptance speech, Kate Winslet, best known across the world for ‘Titanic’, highlighted how her movie ‘I Am Ruth’ serves as a guide for families and parents who are unable to connect with their teenage children due to the effects of social media addiction.
Her Speech At BAFTA
She began her speech by sharing her big win with her daughter. She said, “If I could cut this in half, I would give the other half to my daughter, Mia Threapleton. We did this together, kiddo. There were days when it was agony for her to take as deeply as she did into very frightening emotional territory sometimes and it took my breath away.”

She further said, “‘I Am Ruth’ was made for parents and their children for families who feel that they are held hostage by the perils of the online world, for parents who wish they could still communicate with their teenagers but who no longer can. And for young people who have become addicted to social media and its darker sides, this does not need to be your life. To people in power and to people who can make a change, please criminalise harmful content. Please eradicate harmful content. We don't want it. We want our children back. We don't want to lie awake terrified for our children's mental health. And to any young person who might be listening and who feels they are trapped in an unhealthy world please ask for help. There is no shame in admission that you need support, it will be there just ask for it.”
