This is a science fiction docudrama that incorporates actual historical footage and news reporting with supposition of potential future progression of socio-economic, technological and political and scientific advances. The film focuses heavily on the loss of privacy and the advance of the surveillance state by eastern and western nations. Inasmuch as current and historical footage is being used, it is difficult to argue against the predictions the film makes. Some of the predictions have already come about in the United States with the rise of Donald Trump and the oligarchical control over jobs, media, personal information and the economy. Those who claim bias in these reviews are likely supporters of fascist and totalitarian regimes, in denial, or paid reviewers to downplay the realistic aspects of the film. Definitely worth a watch and comparison against the events we see unfolding in the US as the country descends into a chaotic, despised, totalitarian state.
