 'Civil War' movie set in near-future US poses questions about politics and journalism
==========

The movie 'Civil War' is a tense thriller set in a near-future United States. It follows a group of journalists, including fictional Reuters photographer Lee (played by Kirsten Dunst) and reporter Joel (played by Wagner Moura), as they document societal collapse and chase a scoop in a conflict-torn country. The film explores the role of journalists and the decline of good journalism, as well as the rise of polarized populist politics. Director Alex Garland wrote the film during the COVID-19 pandemic and the lead-up to the 2020 U.S. presidential election. 'Civil War' will be released globally on April 10.
