This documentary film attempts to analyze the dynamics of a massive fan-base; it focuses on the Beliebers (fans of Justin Bieber).

Beliebers feel that they are generalized about and attempt to help non-Beliebers understand them through this film. From the charity work they do to the bullying they receive, the film attempts to uncover all of it by talking to Beliebers and non-Beliebers from around the world and sharing their experiences. Although the film will appeal to Beliebers, it is also targeted at those attempting to understand such phenomena and promotes communication and understanding from an unbiased position in general.

Love comes in many forms, and in Melody Gilbert’s Silicone Soul, the need for companionship and understanding is shown in the bond between humans and their synthetic companions. Tenderly captured by Gilbert, the bonds shown in the film are diverse and layered: from romantic relationships, to friendships, to a recreation of the love between mother and child. Silicone Soul does not allow for its subjects to be easily labeled or judged. Instead, the film is a collection of resoundingly human stories that reflect universal themes—the desire for love, compassion and communication.
