In essay A World at Risk: Unreliable Media and the Culture of Fear, Monica Martin discusses several dystopian films that warn against global threats, as well as increased political and media presence. Among these films are V for Vendetta, Children of Men, and Nineteen Eighty-Four. The films presented in the essay display fear of being exploited by the government, she says, as they refer to “ongoing military conflicts and social debates”, which “position these narratives at the centre of a politically conscious cinema”.
