Keira Jang, Joel Oulette, and Sandra Oh star in this introspective live-action feature set in the near future when technology and travel are almost completely banned.

Can I Get a Witness? tells the story of a mother and daughter in a near-future world where huge sacrifices are made to maintain life on Earth.

With its resources swallowed by e-waste and overpopulation, the world is experiencing an anthropogenic collapse. To manage, technological advances are shunned. Nobody has electricity and only people with exceptions are permitted cars. Most importantly, there is also a collective agreement that nobody is allowed to live beyond the age of 50.

With Fleming’s deft touch, Can I Get a Witness? is an inspired look at what memories – and catastrophic climate change – might look like.
