FREEHOLD, N.J., Feb. 12, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Modern man, with a mistaken interpretation to subjugate the Earth -- following greedy and unsustainable policies that is detrimental to the environment-is now facing one of the greatest threats to his existence. Will something be done to avert this scenario? Or, if disaster will eventually overtake us, how will the survivors cope with their changed situation? Will they, in fact, become Prisoners of this new reality?
Compelling and foreboding, Prisoners darkly portrays the "lives" of ordinary people-their wars, their losses, their abysmal poverty, even what they eat-in the aftermath of the breakdown of civilization as a result of centuries of warfare, greed, and environmental destruction. Unnamed grandfather, father, mother, deformed child, and baby symbolize every family struggling to survive in an infinite desert wasteland. This land, the family remembers, was once a verdant countryside with shimmering streams and lakes.
With no food to eat in their richly decorated home, the family subsists on a powdered drink mixed with what little polluted water their well will provide. In the distance, the armed mobs are advancing in search of food, water, gold, and human blood. The family can only wait, surrounded by paintings of lush landscape that was once theirs - the land and water they wasted for material possessions.
Prophetic and eye-opening, Prisoners is a powerful and dramatic tale with an important lesson. If the message it tries to convey is not heeded, then humanity indeed will find itself sentenced to a prison of its own making.
