Two big questions often follow us through our lives on this planet: how long will we be here, and will anyone remember us when we’re gone. Much of philosophy and art is devoted to understanding the importance of these questions in our lives, though naturally most of us would like to be alive as long as we can. How, and if, we will be remembered, is another. And one that has more relevance in a world that humans are irreparably damaging, and lives lived increasingly alone. Ann Marie Fleming grapples with these large questions in Can I Get a Witness? A fable of the future, it’s a quietly moving and intimate portrait of a changed world where peace and a future have been obtained, though with quite a steep price.. Some decades in the future, it seems that the world has achieved ecological stability, and equal, steady prosperity for the planet. No one wants for shelter, food, health care, or education. But that contentment and steadiness comes at a cost: everyone has agreed to voluntary suicide at the age of 50. – Screen Anarchy
