Cleverman (2016)

In the near-distant future, the landscape of society is forever altered by the emergence of an ancient species, known as the Hairypeople. These extraordinary beings, endowed with superior strength, agility, and longevity, are unmistakably primal in appearance, with bodies covered in thick hair. Forced to coexist with humans, they combat exploitation, extermination, and the constant threat of being silenced, while struggling to establish a sustainable society within the confines of designated zones. This dystopian world is the battleground for two estranged indigenous half-brothers, Koen and Waruu West. Their volatile relationship is further strained when they are thrust together in a race against time to fend off terrifying adversaries, both of human origin and otherworldly beings. At the epicenter of this struggle is Koen, a man reluctantly anointed with a potent gift and the destiny to become the Cleverman. If he fails to master his newfound abilities, everything in his world risks being reduced to rubble. As the brothers unite against a common foe, the narrative delves into the complexities of their relationship, the stark realities of their world, and the mythic monster that lurks in the shadows. "Cleverman" is more than just a tale of survival; it's a poignant exploration of identity, destiny, and the fine line between being hailed as a savior or vilified as a monster. Will Koen harness his power in time, or will he succumb to the rising tide of chaos? Every decision shapes their world, where the heroes and villains of stories may be one and the same.
