Synopsis
It’s the year 2073, and the worst fears of modern life have come true. Surveillance drones fill the burnt orange skies, militarized police roam the ravaged streets, and survivors lurk underground, struggling to remember a free and hopeful existence. In this ingenious blend of visionary science fiction and speculative nonfiction, Academy Award-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia (Amy) transports us to a future prefigured by the terrifying realities of our present moment. Two-time Academy Award nominee Samantha Morton (America, Sweet and Low, Minority Report) stars as a survivor besieged by nightmarish visions of the past—a past that is our present, visualized through the interconnected contemporary scenes of today. Global crises of totalitarianism, unchecked big technology, inequality, and global climate change. 2073 is an urgent, unflinching vision of a dystopian future that could be our own.
