Last night, I attended a screening of Leonardo DiCaprio’s acclaimed documentary with National Geographic.
After spending a lot of this winter’s nights in watching Netflix’s latest dystopian releases portraying new worlds of toxic political environments (3%, Pedro Aguilera) and the potential (dangers and benefits) of technology (Black Mirror, Charlie Brooker), as well as scenes of rolling, infertile estates, home to the “undead” (Glitch, Emma Freeman), I was shaken by the realisation that this factual documentary didn’t seem all that different. Immediately, it was obvious to me that our changing planet is already, quickly reaching a setting apt for a dystopia.
