A second American Civil War. A world battered by climate collapse. Out of this bleak vision comes All the Lost Ones, a tense and morally charged thriller landing on UK digital this September from Reel2Reel Films.
Directed by Mackenzie Donaldson, best known for producing Orphan Black and Snowpiercer, the film plunges viewers into a landscape where survival is as fragile as the scorched earth beneath it. Jasmine Mathews (The Tomorrow War, The Man from Toronto) leads the cast as Nia, a young woman whose pregnancy forces her to confront impossible choices in a society that has already lost its way.
The story follows Nia and her boyfriend Ethan, played by Douglas Smith (Don't Worry Darling, Big Little Lies), who are hiding on the fringes of the Bruce Peninsula while a brutal militia called the Conservancy tightens its grip on the nation. With her sister Penny (Vinessa Antoine, Ginny & Georgia, Grey's Anatomy) at her side, Nia is torn between surrendering to the regime or risking everything on a perilous escape. Their only hope lies in the faint possibility of finding The Extremists, a resistance force whispered about in rumours but never proven real.
As the militia closes in, All the Lost Ones raises unsettling questions about what kind of world is worth fighting for, and how far someone will go to protect the next generation. With Lochlyn Munro (Riverdale, Scary Movie) adding to a strong ensemble, the film blends dystopian intensity with human vulnerability.
This is not just another post-apocalyptic thriller. It is a sobering reflection of the times, holding a mirror to today's fractured world while asking audiences to imagine the cost of doing nothing.
All the Lost Ones arrives on UK digital platforms 1 September, courtesy of Reel2Reel Films.
