I used to believe that human nature was as in your proposed film. When COVID lockdowns happened I expected people to rise up after two weeks and say "Enough!"
There’s always a few awake to the nonsense but most people just “go along to get along”. They have too much invested in the game, too afraid of discomfort and ostracism. We rarely turn on our oppressors. The best you’re going to get is a turning away and even that’s unusual.
I love it, but why a desert? The planet is actually abundant on the whole. A desert makes it seem a case of losing our safe shelter and dying of thirst...

Wow James. Academy award for best short. With no actors from Hollyweird.

It's a great story, James! I, too, harbor a bit of hope that such a scenario could, would, and WILL occur.
Love it. Absolutely love it.
