About the Work
In the near future, London is in chaos and your freedom is about to be taken away.
Not exactly the new world you dreamed of?
Don't worry, it's still just a game, and you can change all that.
Welcome to the world of Watchdogs Legion: a dystopian vision of post-Brexit London in the very near future.
This four-minute short film pays homage to the famous poem by Martin Niemöller (“First they came…”) and shows a manic, mesmerizing chase in which a street artist that is part of an improvised resistance is being pursued by a heavily militarized police force called Albion. A beautifully crafted piece of CG with a level of detail that has never been seen before, the film feels ultra-realistic and shows us a world that might not be that far away from today.
The film ends with a tagline fitting for the world of today:
RECLAIM YOUR FUTURE.
