When an attempt at mitigating climate change fails and leads to a second Ice Age, the remaining humans across the world board the Snowpiecer, a train on an infinite loop around the world. A rigid class system emerges on the train–with the poorest imprisoned at the rear and the wealthiest indulging at the front–but the stirrings of a revolution begin to foment among the oppressed class. Korean director Bong Joon-ho’s (Parasite) first foray into English-language filmmaking, Snowpiercer is an intense exploration of class, climate, and cross-cultural connections.This screening will be preceded by a lecture from Zack Miller, Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
