Fighting the Future: Risk, Resistance and Rebellion in Stan's 'The Commons'

A prescient look at a near-future Australia ravaged by climate change, The Commons touches on issues such as child-bearing, medical ethics and human rights in a dystopian society. As Rebekah Brammer outlines, the Stan Original series offers a bleak depiction of environmental collapse and the loss of civil liberties that might accompany it, but also hope for the next generation's capacity to resist.
