The War of the Worlds: Next Century
Directed by Piotr Szulkin
Produced by Zespół Filmowy "Perspektywa"
A darkly satirical sci-fi parable about propaganda, state control, and individual resistance, using Martian invasion as a lens to critique totalitarianism.
Poland, Christmastime. A band of hyperintelligent, bloodthirsty Martians take over the country and enlist hapless television newscaster Iron Idem as the voice of their propaganda machine. But when Iron dares to go off message, he makes an enemy even greater than the aliens—the state itself.
