Lord of the Flies
Evil is inherent in the human mind, whatever innocence may cloak it...
A bleak, intellectually rigorous descent into savagery that uses a group of stranded boys to interrogate the fragility of civilization and the darkness lurking beneath childhood innocence.
Following a plane crash a group of schoolboys find themselves on a deserted island. They appoint a leader and attempt to create an organized society for the sake of their survival. Democracy and order soon begin to crumble when a breakaway faction regresses to savagery with horrifying consequences.
