...seem to understand that the pummelled audience can take only so much cinematic doomscrolling.

They clearly underestimate us.

Whereas, Mr. Carey seems to be taking his turn to remind us that Idiocracy was blithely billed as a comedy.

"This is not fiction. This is not documentary. This is a warning."

I'll track it down online and report back after I've given it a look, me hearties.

Edit: Ok, so I just finished it, and... I'm still digesting,

But I will say this: in all honesty and without hyperbole, even the encrypted methods I used to find & acquire the video will not be enough to keep it off the list of "reasons" why the impending world order targets me for sanitizing, I have no doubt.

This film is as heavy-handed and unapologetic as it is factual and necessary. Watch it. Don't flinch. Don't shut it off. Absorb it. Know that you are not alone in this, and together is just maybe the only way through it all that doesn't end with humanity in the thresher, en masse.

FWIW: the only shots that are scripted are the clearly acted ones, and the rest are all footage from real life events, ranging from historical to modern day. (In fact, a number of the forest fire scenes are from two of the PacNW fires I personally experienced first-hand, and were singularly chilling to re-experience in this medium, FYI.)

On a long enough timeline, they're coming for each of us anyway. You might as well be able to remember why, in that moment. Share this film. Seed for as long as you can.

It's only a matter of time, friends. Unless we boost the signal. Please. Do. ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐ŸฅฒโœŠ๐Ÿผ
