Film Club: You Chose This... Didn’t You? (secret film)
Details
This year’s films all revolve around the theme of “choice” – plenty of opportunity for philosophical exploration!
This month: After years of inexplicable confinement, a man is abruptly released and given a finite window to discover why his life was stolen. What follows is a tightening web of decisions, each one shaped by ignorance, memory, and manipulation. As he pursues the truth, the boundaries between freedom and control begin to blur: are his choices genuinely his own, or merely the final steps in a path laid out long before he could see it? The story presses on a troubling possibility: that knowing more does not necessarily make us freer, and that some choices, once revealed, cannot be unchosen. Can you guess the film? Or come and find out on the day!
