Asif Kapadia talks his documentary"2073": 'The aim of the film is to shock and scare people to get them to act'

In Asif Kapadia ‘s latest documentary, “2073,” Ivanka Trump celebrates her 30th year as leader of a nightmarish fascist police state that was once America. The film is inspired by Chris Marker’s 1962 featurette “La Jetée,” about a time traveler who risks his life to change the course of history and save the future of humanity. “2073” follows Morton, who plays a survivor of a near-future global catastrophe caused by AI, climate change, anti-democratic authoritarianism and technocratic mass surveillance.
