War Game
A Storyville documentary that sweeps viewers into an elaborate simulation which dramatically escalates the threat that was posed in the USA by the Capitol attack on 6 January 2021. \n\nThe film follows a bipartisan group of US defence, intelligence and elected policymakers as they participate in an unscripted role-play exercise. \n\nA fictional president of the United States and his advisors confront a political coup backed by rogue members of the US military in the wake of a contested 2024 presidential election. Like actors in a thriller, but with profound real-world stakes, the players have only six hours to save American democracy.
