The year is 2073, and the worst fears of modern life have become reality. Surveillance drones fill the burnt orange sky, and paramilitary police roam the destroyed streets, while survivors hide underground, trying to remember a free and hopeful existence. In this brilliant blend of visionary science fiction and speculative documentary prose, Academy Award-winning director Asif Kapadia (Emmy) takes us into a future foreshadowed by the terrifying realities of our present. Two-time Academy Award nominee Samantha Morton (In America, Sweet and Ugly, My Own Opinion) plays a survivor haunted by nightmarish visions of the past—a past that turns out to be our present, visualized with contemporary footage that connects today’s global crises of authoritarianism. , uncontrolled big technologies, inequality and global climate change. The year 2073 is a relevant, unshakable vision of a dystopian future that may well become our own.
