The film takes place in a world where 4% of the population are born with some type of supernatural ability. But instead of being rich and adored superheroes, most 'specials' live in poverty and resort to crime, forcing the police to become more militarized.
The story follows a man with special powers struggling to find work as a labourer. After a dispute over payment, he finds himself in a confrontation with a police officer and the robots backing him up.
Code 8 was originally produced as a proof of concept for a feature film version to be filmed after more funds were raised. The producers decided to set a crowdfunding goal of $200,000 to complete the movie and it seemed like everyone else adored this flick too as they have now reached the huge sum of $1,720,064. Wow!
I cannot wait for the full version of this film! Watch this space!
