Worn Away

2023 · 1h 9m · Documentary

The film depicts a corporatocracy dystopia in which a neoliberal regime of multinational corporations govern society, bringing suffering. Under the rule of this globe-wide empire, the unemployed, psychiatric patients, as well as those who have either little faith in society or advocate views contrary to the mainstream, are increasingly excluded and are brought to a place called the Transit Area via the Biofunction Optimization Support Program. These outcasts are trapped in a labyrinthine space created by the system where they can only wait to be expended in biological experiments. These supposedly worthless people slowly commence to dismantle reality and the system’s lie of a bright future through both inner monologues and vocal utterances.
