Authoritarian rule has overtaken Planet Earth in 2073 by Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia (Amy) and starring Samantha Morton (The Walking Dead, MINORITY REPORT). The new trailer features footage from present-day chaos (unchecked tech companies, wannabe dictators) around the world that leads to that dystopian future. The first preview for 2073 is a chilling look at a very possible future.
Official Synopsis
It’s the year 2073, and the worst fears of modern life have been realized. Surveillance drones fill the burnt orange skies and militarized police roam the wrecked streets, while survivors hide away underground, struggling to remember a free and hopeful existence. In this ingenious mixture of visionary science fiction and speculative nonfiction, Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia (Amy) transports us to a future foreshadowed by the terrifying realities of our present moment.
Two-time Academy Award® nominee Samantha Morton plays a survivor besieged by nightmare visions of the past—a past that happens to be our present, visualized through contemporary footage interconnecting today’s global crises of authoritarianism, unchecked big tech, inequality, and global climate change. 2073 is an urgent, unshakable vision of a dystopic future that could very well be our own.
