synopsis

En

The System explores the struggle to change our harmful societal and economic systems amidst a crumbling world. The film follows antifascist Tadzio Müller, Extinction Rebellion co-founder Pippi van Ommen, and diplomat Henk Ovink, who seek meaningful change. But as their actions, conferences and demonstrations fail and the situation worsens, they are confronted with the uncertainty of the future. A cinematic experience, driven by Lee Ranaldo's score, challenging us to embrace the unknown.
