LOS ANGELES — In the near future, Earth will become essentially uninhabitable due to a lack of oxygen, with survivors living underground and making only short trips above ground.
Jennifer Hudson, Kwavenzhane Wolle, and Common play Maya, Zola, and Darius, a family struggling to survive this apocalypse.
Maya and Zora must fight to survive when two mysterious visitors appear on their compound after Darius is presumed dead.
'Breath' director Stephon Bristol says the film is a window into a possible future as we risk leaving a terrible planet for our children and future generations. .
The film never reveals why the world ended or why it lost oxygen, leaving the audience to draw their own conclusions.
Stephon Bristol told Spectrum News: “I thought this was great because it holds everyone accountable. Everyone is going to be held accountable. I'm responsible for climate change. “They are also responsible for climate change.”
Is “Breathe” a movie that inspires action? Bristol says it's up to the individual.
“Do they want to take action or do they want to sit back and wait? “What kind of decisions do they want to make?” he said, “but if no one is going to do anything about it. , know that this is bound to happen in our time, and I'm scared that something like the movie “is about to happen.'' “
According to Bristol, the Earth is constantly adapting and changing. We have to learn to adapt and change.
Quvenzhané Wallis once felt that she, like her character Zora, had a talent for science.
“Science was my favorite in school. Then I saw this movie and thought maybe I don't know as much about science as I thought I did. But I still love science. “I love building things in the lab. But me and Zola are on two different pages at the scientific level,” she said.
“Breathe” is now available on video on demand and in theaters.
