The year is 2073, and the worst fears of modern life have come true. Surveillance drones fill the burnt orange sky and militarized police roam the wrecked streets, while survivors hide underground, trying to remember a free and hopeful existence. In this ingenious blend of visionary science fiction and speculative nonfiction, Oscar®-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia (Amy) takes us into a future foreshadowed by the horrifying realities of the present. Two-time Oscar®-nominated Samantha Morton (In America, Sweet and Lowdown, Minority Report) plays a survivor besieged by nightmarish visions of the past – a past that happens to be our present, visualized through contemporary footage that connects today’s global crises of authoritarianism, unbridled big technology, inequality and global climate change. 2073 is an urgent, unwavering vision of a dystopian future that could very well be ours.
