2031.
A failed geo-engineering experiment to solve the global warming problem results in a new Ice Age and mass extinction. Focusing on the connection between climate change and class inequalities, director Bong Joon-Ho is asking us to think critically about a possible solution to climate change, and to ask ourselves whether the idea that humans can master nature without risk is a realistic solution to the problem of global warming.
Join us for the screening of this cult speculative fiction masterpiece.
