8 Dystopian Films That Might Come True

The movie that inspired President Trump’s overhaul of Obamacare, Repo! The Genetic Opera takes place in the “not too distant future” where the population has been decimated by an epidemic of organ failures.

A saviour emerges in the form of Rotti Largo (Paul Sorvino), whose biotech company GeneCo offers organ transplants to those in need. Thanks to him, surgery becomes so ubiquitous that it ultimately becomes a fashion statement, with face transplants particularly popular this season.

That’s when Largo lobbies through Congress a bill legalizing organ repossession for those who can’t keep up with the payments. Default on your new set of lungs and you’ll be visited by the Repo Man, who will come when you’re at your weakest and reclaim what’s legally GeneCo property.

This makes the Largo clan the most powerful family in the country, a position they secure with saturation advertising that advises the masses to vote to keep organ repossession legal “otherwise the company won’t be able to sell affordable hearts to those we love.”
