Cheery Point (2013)

Cheery Point: Directed by Adam Bailey. With Tommy Martin, Amy Hunt, Richard Hackel, Louie Lawless. In a dystopian future where pain and emotion have been suppressed by a government-issued drug called Torpase, Joshua Barrett (Tommy Martin) coasts through the monotony of his repetitive, workaday life. But when he’s kidnapped by a rebellious priest (Richard Hackel), Joshua is exposed to a world beyond Torpase, changing everything he thought he knew about what it means to live. Also starring Louie Lawless, Amy Hunt, and Kyle Dal Santo, “Cheery Point” examines the necessity of pain and despair and “covers a wide range of possibilities that this country, as a whole, could face” (IMDb review).

“This movie of 2013, is eerily predictive of some of todayu0026#39;s real life headlines about the zombie apocalypse, real threat of things like forced vaccines challenges our right to control our own bodies, our own minds. Ai to learn everything about you so it can think for you. The primal fear of being controlled in every aspect if your life and the disregard of the basic need for joy make this movie a dystopian nightmare that has enough elements of possibility to induce some long lasting hypervigilence.”
