This film is called “The Turning Point”. In this film the animals switch lives or roles with the animals and try to survive with all the garbage and pollution. Since the people have to live like this in this film, it becomes a big deal, but when the animals are being treated badly and garbage being thrown at them is fine. This film fits in speculative fiction because it asks the question what if. “The Turning Point” is a what if based film because it shows, what if the animals switched lives or roles with the humans and then it became a big deal. This film fits under every one of the dystopia characteristics, for example it fits extremely well under, a figurehead or concept is worshipped by the citizens of the society. This short film shows dystopia because, “[it] is an imagined community or society that is dehumanizing and frightening” (What is Dystopian 2022).
