2081

The year is 2081. Everybody is average thanks to the 212th amendment to the Constitution, that is except for Harrison Bergeron. A hopelessly bright and athletic young man, he has been imprisoned only to escape and try to concocts a plan to liberate the people through a revolution. But there's always one problem with changing the world ... it may not want to be changed.

  • ""A short film adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron, 2081 depicts a dystopian future in which, thanks to the 212th amendment to the Constitution and the vigilance of the United States Handicapper General, everyone is "finally equal ..." The strong wear weights, the beautiful wear masks and the intelligent wear earpieces that fire off loud noises to keep them from taking unfair advantage of their brains. It is a poetic tale of triumph and tragedy about a broken family, a brutal government, and an act of defiance that changes everything"--Container."@en
