His documentary features including Senna and Diego Maradona have made him one of the screen’s most prolific filmmakers. Now Asif Kapadia is breaking new ground with his latest film 2073 - a trip to a dystopian future that looks at the biggest challenges endangering our present, from climate to politics to tech.

Kapadia blends documentary storytelling with sci-fi drama - casting Samantha Morton as his leading star - in a film that aims to tackle how our present-day world threatens our future.
