Host Country explores a near-future reality where global anarchy precipitates mass assimilation to extremist ideologies. Set against the backdrop of a raw landscape ravaged by atomic fallout, this film considers female bodily autonomy in a world racing to repopulate at any cost.

Through the lens of the female protagonist and her fight to save her daughter, the story begs a subtle examination of white supremacy, revolution, and the need for freedom of thought. Combining themes from critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic dramas, Host Country strips away the threat of viral disease and replaces it with a less predictable enemy: humans.
