The Sandbox
Synopsis
Through meditative, cinematic landscapes, The Sandbox explores global borders where surveillance and AI decide who lives and who dies.
From the Arizona desert to the Mediterranean sea, suffering is clinically managed while control is packaged as security.
But if there is no opting out, who is The Sandbox really protecting?
