Synopsis

After surviving the Quarter Quell, Katniss finds herself in the hidden stronghold of District 13, where the rebellion against the Capitol is gaining momentum. Struggling with the weight of becoming the symbol of resistance, she must navigate fragile alliances while trying to protect those she loves. As propaganda battles rage and Panem moves closer to full-scale war, Katniss is forced to confront the true cost of revolution.

Cinema Atlas Connection
For me personally, I referenced a bunch of documentaries, and also things like The Battle of Algiers because there’s a lot of propaganda in the movie on both sides, and there’s also the very real human element to a revolution.
