What if the most dangerous threat to the future... was stupidity?
Join us at LBCAC for a special screening of Mike Judge’s cult classic Idiocracy—a dark comedy that has evolved into one of the most startlingly relevant social commentaries of our time.
Originally released in 2006, Idiocracy follows a perfectly average man who wakes up 500 years in the future to find that society has devolved into a corporate-controlled, anti-intellectual wasteland. Once considered far-fetched satire, the film now feels like a chillingly familiar reflection of today’s challenges—where critical thinking, science, and civic dialogue are under threat, and spectacle often replaces substance.
In an age dominated by misinformation, culture wars, and clickbait politics, Idiocracy is no longer just a comedy—it’s a wake-up call.
This screening is part of LBCAC’s ongoing effort to activate the power of film as a tool for cultural reflection and civic engagement. Bring your friends, your questions, and your sense of humor—and stick around afterward for an informal community discussion.
