FILMS
​
The films listed below have more than a casual relevance
to what is happening in our world today.
More importantly, we have listed them here due to their relevance
to what could happen in our world tomorrow
if we the People were happy to allow it.
The remarkable thing is - given when some films were written -
the future depicted is either present now or could be very soon.
In effect, they serve as a wake-up call for us all.
A call to warn us there is a fawke in the road
and we each of us have a choice to make - also very soon!
​
Whilst some of these films will have been enjoyed before
they can now be enjoyed again - but this time through a different paradigm.
The paradigm of a different awareness and the up-coming choice.
A choice which will determine which road we take.
A choice by default or by awareness.
LEFT fawke or RIGHT fawke.
​
​
Otherwise...
something for everyone to enjoy - we hope

YoR: 2011
Sci-fi action film. A few people live for ever, while others face constantly rising costs and falling wages, surviving from day to day. Time is the universal currency. People stop ageing on their 25th birthday and receive a year, with their balance visible as a digital number on their forearm. If anyone’s balance reaches zero, they die instantly. The picture painted appears not quite so sci-fi in 2020.
YoR: 2004

Anderson is a man living two lives. By day he is an average computer programmer and by night a hacker known as Neo. Neo has always questioned his reality, but the truth is far beyond his imagination.
