Prophet Song
Close
03 Sep '26 to 04 Sep '26
Prophet Song unfolds in a chilling and not-so-distant future. When a repressive, democratically elected regime rises to power, the rule of law begins to erode, and democracy slowly unravels. In the grip of a tightening reality, a mother fights desperately to protect her four children.
