Great filmmakers always try to teach their audience a lasting and worthwhile moral lesson. Such is the case with this short film that was made in 2008 by Sean Stone, and quite prophetically, I might add, because it deals with exactly what were going through right now as a society dealing with this COVID-19 PSYOP. Sean Stone is the son of the Academy Award-winning filmaker Oliver Stone, who actually wrote this story about a deadly viral outbreak in America that leads to the creation of a totalitarian police state, monitored by AI surveillance systems in order to prevent the virus’ spread. In this sci-fi ode to Blade Runner and The Conformist, "Guardians" (Contact Tracers) who are assigned to take away the "infected," and those folks are never seen again. But when a Guardian is tasked with targeting his own friend, he is faced with not only a moral dilemma, but a question--does he really believe in the system he is assigned to uphold?
