Snowpiercer

Snowpiercer is a post-apocalyptic movie made in 2013 by award winning director, Bong-Joon Ho. This movie is set in a world where global warming has led to a second ice age, and the remaining survivors live on a train that circles the globe. To survive with the lack of resources, inhabitants of the train fall into a social order that exaggerates and critiques modern class structures and discusses the proletariat's struggles in the climate context. This movie aims to showcase how the blood of humanity is on the hands of the greed and individualism that pervade modern capitalist societies, and the futility of social order when faced with climate change.
