Captive State

About

Nearly a decade after occupation by an extraterrestrial force, the lives of a Chicago neighborhood on both sides of the conflict are explored. In a working-class Chicago neighborhood occupied by an alien force for nine years, increased surveillance and the restriction of civil rights have given rise to an authoritarian system -- and dissent among the populace.

Forget the flashy space battles of typical alien invasions to find a claustrophobic, ground-level look at life under occupation. This urban nightmare focuses on the stifling bureaucracy and surveillance that turn a Chicago neighborhood into a permanent police state.
