Carnage: Swallowing the Past
Directed by Simon Amstell
Produced by BBC, Splice Post
A satirical mockumentary that uses dark comedy and speculative worldbuilding to interrogate collective guilt, moral progress, and generational shame around consumption.
It's 2067, the UK is vegan, but older generations are suffering the guilt of their carnivorous past. Simon Amstell asks us to forgive them for the horrors of what they swallowed.
