Summary
The first movie that Jodie Foster ever directed was about a single mom raising a son.
For an episode of the Netflix series "Black Mirror," Foster had to dig deep into mother-daughter dynamics to tell the story of a mom so anxious about her girl that she turns to a sophisticated surveillance tool.
The "Black Mirror" episode, titled "ArkAngel," is part of season four of writer Charlie Brooker's anthology series that taps into our collective unease with the modern world.
