The year is 2073, and the worst fears of modern life have come true. Surveillance drones fill the burnt orange sky, militarized police patrol the devastated streets, and survivors hide underground, trying to remember a free and hopeful existence. In this ingenious blend of science fiction and speculative fiction, Oscar®-winning director Asif Kapadia (Amy) transports us to a future foreshadowed by the horrific reality of the present. Two-time Oscar® nominee Samantha Morton (In America, Sweet and Lowdown, Minority Report) stars as a survivor haunted by nightmarish visions of the past, a past that is our present, visualized through contemporary film footage that intertwines the present with the global crises of authoritarianism, unchecked big technology, inequality, and global climate change. 2073 is an urgent, unwavering vision of a dystopian future that could be our own.
