2073 is a dystopian foretelling documentary distributed by Neon.

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 roams 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.

2073 stars Naomi Ackie, Samantha Morton, and Hector Hewer. Asif Kapadia is the director of 2073 alongside writing the documentary with Tony Grisoni.

2073 is releasing soon.
