Imagining America's grim environmental and political future, Futurestates is a series of independent short narrative films created to ask serious questions about how life will be in the near-future if we continue to ignore global warming, immigration policies, and our budget crises.

A. Sayeeda Clarke's White describes a New York City wherein global warming causes 120 degree winters.
Suzi Yoonessi's Spring of Sorrow combines fairy tale imagery with water shortages in a desert-like future Earth.
That Which Once Was, by Kimi Takesue, takes place in a vast metropolis after the tragedy of raising temperatures fractures human civilization.
