The Compound

"When contestants are dropped in the remote desert to film a Love Island-esque reality show, they must couple up to stay in the game and complete tasks to receive everything from basic amenities to beautiful luxuries. As the tasks become more dangerous, contestants don’t know who to trust. Who is acting on their own and who is doing so because a task told them to? Even as their season spirals into dangerous chaos, they stay more interested in winning brand deals than their own well-being or in the vaguely alluded-to wars happening outside the show. With commentary on materialism, influencer culture and our ability to look the other way, you feel as trapped in the story as the contestants are in The Compound."
