A breathtaking journey into the dark heart of a crumbling nation, which examines the role of journalism, desensitization to violence, and division. Really speechless.

Alex Garland’s CIVIL WAR is an absolute MASTERPIECE. A captivating, unshakable, haunting, cautionary tale, which is scary as hell. Watching it, you can’t help but feel how close we are to this actually happening, and so stopping it before it actually happens is a MUST.
