Arcadia
You get what you deserve
Created by Bas Adriaensen, Philippe De Schepper, Zita Theunynck
A dystopian drama interrogating systems of control and social worth in a resource-scarce future, where surveillance and algorithmic judgment determine human value.
Following a major catastrophe, a new society, Arcadia, is born. Resources have become scarce and a point system, known as the Citizen Score, is introduced. It determines what you can and may do and what a citizen is entitled to.
