@stopthatgirl7 I watched "On Falling" recently. It's set in Scotland and the main character is a "picker" in a warehouse. It's really quite low-key for the most part but the sense of despair is never too far beneath the surface. I think that the UK and Europe are generally not as bad as the US/China/elsewhere, but there are disturbing scenes that could be happening anywhere, or could be coming to where you live.

"we are now at a crucial tipping point where a large number of people have been activated to the dire state of things when it comes to our many crises and challenges but whose behaviours are not commensurate with their understanding... never see themselves as activists, all the while despairing at the lack of collective progress and what they see as an inevitable collapse of the ecological foundations upon which all else rests"
