Captive State
10 years ago, they took our planet. Today, we take it back!
Directed by Rupert Wyatt
Produced by Participant, Lightfuse & Gettaway
A grim, surveillance-soaked resistance thriller that explores life under alien occupation through the lens of a fractured Chicago neighborhood.
Nearly a decade after occupation by an extraterrestrial force, the lives of a Chicago neighborhood on both sides of the conflict are explored. In a working-class Chicago neighborhood occupied by an alien force for nine years, increased surveillance and the restriction of civil rights have given rise to an authoritarian system -- and dissent among the populace.
