The newly released teaser trailer for The
Hunger Games: Mockingjay—Part 1 will remind everyone why no
other recent pop culture phenomenon is as strikingly
libertarian.
The teaser depicts President Snow, ruthless dictator of the
fictional North American country of Panem, rallying viewers of a
government-run propaganda TV station to pledge total support to his
rule as creepy buzzwords like “UNITY” appear on screen.
His speech is accompanied by cheesy background music straight
out of a modern political ad, though it finds a menacing note as
Snow’s threats grow more explicit:
“Ours is an elegant system conceived to nourish and protect.
Your districts are the body, the Capitol is the heart. Your hard
work feeds us, and in return, we feed and protect you. But if you
resist the system, you starve yourself. If you fight against it, it
is you who will bleed. I know you will stand with me, with us, with
all of us, together as one. Panem today. Panem tomorrow. Panem
forever.”
Viewers are encouraged to use the hastag #OnePanem
and visit thecapitol.pn to
learn more about how their government is keeping them safe from
pesky freedom fighters like Katniss Everdeen.
The film will be released on November 21. Watch the teaser
