Abstract: Visual media, namely films, is one of the greatest mediums for the conveyance of propaganda. Dystopian films contain strong persuasive content in them and are used by filmmakers to spread propaganda. Unlike the filmmakers of the past, dystopian filmmakers focus on the future and their films are usually set in a futuristic environment. The environement is usually shown as being completely destryed by neglect or the overtake by technology. These films popularly contain a strong warning of the dangers of neglecting the present, and predict a dystopian future. Due to the strong persuasive content held by these films an attempt has been made to identify the extent of propaganda by using Marlin’s approach to the study of propaganda.
Keywords: Dystopian Films, Randal Marlin, Propaganda.
