Dystopia. What Is To Be Done?
Description
Dystopia is a word to label fictional portrayals of negative utopias. This film deals with the very real hell on earth that is experienced by nearly a billion people right now. It predicts that the dystopia that is here for many will become increasingly prevalent for more and more of us. Humanity faces many different sorts of crises: environmental, political, and economic. These crises will continue to worsen unless the drastic systemic change is undertaken. However, the widespread knowledge that is required to form a strong enough political consensus for that sort of change is unlikely to occur. There is systematic mystification preventing it. The film demonstrates that present responses are inadequate and suggests the way forward.
