When every truth is forbidden, rebellion becomes sacred.
Set in a dystopian near-future where the illusion of peace is maintained by iron-fisted control, Rebellion ignites a storm of resistance in the most unlikely of places: the fractured heart of a city built on fear. In a world where surveillance is gospel and obedience is oxygen, one act of defiance becomes the spark that threatens to burn it all down.
At the center is Mara Vex (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), a former history professor turned underground resistance courier, who has spent years smuggling truths banned by the regime. Haunted by the execution of her brother, she has learned to live in the shadows—until a coded transmission reveals the existence of a secret archive that could dismantle the government’s entire narrative. But retrieving it means returning to the capital she once fled, and facing the ghosts that still live in its alleyways.
Joined by a band of unlikely fighters—a disillusioned drone technician, a teenage graffiti savant, and a grieving ex-soldier—Mara begins a cat-and-mouse mission that plunges deep into the city’s underbelly, where betrayal is currency and trust is always borrowed. What begins as survival transforms into purpose, as each step peels away the propaganda that has shackled a generation.
Visually arresting and emotionally charged, Rebellion is a story about memory, identity, and the high cost of choosing to fight back. It’s not just about taking down a regime—it’s about rediscovering the humanity buried beneath decades of silence.
Because sometimes, rebellion isn’t born from hatred. It’s born from love—love for those lost, for truths denied, and for a future that dares to be free.
