Civil War (dir. Alex Garland) x SXSW 2024.

Garland’s dystopian road trip action drama Civil War foretells the United States’ upsetting possible near-future where a fascist dictator president is at war against united “Western Front” state rebellion forces from California and Texas. It’s a horrific love letter to photojournalism, spotlighting the costly dehumanization of war by emphasizing the gut-churning power of images.
