Land of the Blind

A political satire set in a unnamed democratic country ruled by a fascist president, opens with a young impressionable guard Joe (Ralph Fiennes) taken in by the ideas of a political prisoner (Donald Sutherland). The words and the country's downward spiral spurs Joe into action only for him to discover that power does indeed corrupt. A tightly scripted movie that emanates crisscrossing echoes of past and current political climates.
