2073 trailer: Nightmare vision of past reflects our present

For those feeling apprehensive, dismayed or outraged by the slow creep of authoritarianism, this trailer may indicate hope - we stand stronger together and aware; others may see it as unlikely or exaggerated. As the film-makers describe it: "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 ('In America', 'Sweet and Lowdown', 'Minority Report') 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".
