Director: Charlie Dennis

Year: 2025

Residents from a tight-knit working class town are forced to meet a brutal quota just to survive. If they fail to meet it - they are punished with something far worse than death. This film offers a heightened approach on a widening gap between those who have unchecked power and increasing greed - and the struggling many.
