RIDE OR DIE explores the pivotal moment when relentless, radical resistance begins specifically against the political shift to the right in Europe and the resulting threats to the separation of powers and freedom of the press. Blending elements of political thriller, investigative documentary, the work constructs a trenchant dystopia. Set in 2039, the story follows a journalist couple living in a surveillance state dominated by totalitarian structures, where AI controls every aspect of life and crushes dissent. Facing an existential threat, they join an underground resistance determined to overthrow the system. The title and driving imperative RIDE OR DIE propels them toward radicalization in pursuit of political upheaval.
