The MPI Original feature Motherland was recently highlighted by The New York Times in its roundup, “Five Science Fiction Movies to Stream Now.”
In her review, critic Elisabeth Vincentelli describes Motherland as a film that “could spur spirited discussions among viewers about the maternal instinct, improving opportunities for women and how to best raise children.”
Directed by Evan Matthews and written by Nicole Roewe (née Swinford), Motherland imagines an alternate present where the state has relieved parents of the responsibility of raising children—until one rule enforcer uncovers a devastating truth that propels her into rebellion.
You can stream Motherland now on Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, and Google Play. Don’t miss this compelling exploration of motherhood, control, and resistance.
