A Warning to America - 2073 and The Arrival of Techno Authoritarianism
Join us for a virtual conversation with Maria Ressa, Rana Ayyub, Carole Cadwalladr and Asif Kapadia.
Acclaimed director Asif Kapadia’s feature documentary 2073, in theatres now, paints a terrifying vision of a future controlled by AI and on the brink of climate collapse in an America where Chairwoman Ivanka Trump is celebrating her 30th year in power. In the United States, the reality is all too close: techno-authoritarianism takes office on January 20th.
Just ahead of the US Presidential Inauguration, The Citizens are bringing together Asif with three experts featured in the film who have lived with authoritarianism and reported on its dark reach: Nobel Laureate Maria Ressa, journalist and writer Rana Ayyub and journalist Carole Cadwalladr.
The conversation will explore the moment we’ve arrived at, what to expect and how to fight back. This dialogue will also preview the film 2073, and hold space for audience Q&A. Join us for this important Zoom conversation. Register below!
🗓️ January 15th, 5PM GMT / 12PM EST / 9AM PST
The Citizens leverage creative storytelling to push for change and fight Big Tech's capture of politics. This partnership with Asif and his new film 2073 is one of the ways we are doing this. We have more planned.
But sadly, we now have an expiry date. Without new funding, the Citizens won’t survive past Spring 2025. With enough of you becoming paid members, we will have a chance to keep the fight alive. Will you help us? ✊🏻
