2030 - Revolt of the Young (2030 - Aufstand der Jungen)

  (login to rate)

2030 - REVOLT OF THE YOUNG taps into the younger generation’s fear for its future. It’s a world where the gulf between the employed and unemployed, the insured and uninsured, could force have-nots into unimaginably bleak circumstances. Thirty-year-old Tim Burdenski is shot on a public square and dies in a Berlin hospital. Journalist Lena Bach’s interest is piqued: Tim has been in the news before. He’s one of the "Millennium Children" born in 2000 whose lives have been publicly documented on a reality TV show. But since the birth of these children, at a time when so many were full of hope for the future, health care costs have skyrocketed while salaries have decreased. People are making do with permanent part-time jobs that lack benefits or security. More and more young people live below the poverty level. Now, in 2030, Lena tracks down Tim’s old friend Sophie, who has received a message leading her to believe he’s still alive. As the two women dig deeper, they unearth a labyrinth of deceit. It leads them to an underground parallel society where victims of the two-tier health system care for their own. A stylish docu-thriller. (In German with subtitles) –B.B.

Disturbing A1 Dystopia

Cross between Gatica and Soylent Green with none of the redemption of either. Beautifully done.
