There are quite a few movies that have correctly predicted the future. Although they seemed like science fiction at the time, some perfectly predicted how we would live a few decades later.

Duck, a biographical film about the famous black athlete Jesse Owens, will be released next year, when it will also be 80 years since the Summer Olympics in Berlin (1936). These were the last Olympic Games before the lull in the war and the games marked by this famous American athlete who competed in the sprint and long jump. With his performances, he disproved the theory of the superiority of the Aryan race, which had been bubbling under the cover of Nazi Germany for several years at that time. The film was also supported by his family and the Jesse Owens Foundation, which helps young athletes and is run by his three daughters.
The Serbian film Pored mene (Srednješolci) critically examines today's youth, while at the same time looking for a way to a bright future for a generation that was born with smartphones. Swimming against the current is the young high school teacher Olja, who already has the upper hand of her students, who spend more time on their phones. A recording of her fight breaks the bottom of the barrel, so the history teacher takes extreme measures. He collects everyone's electronic toys, locks them in the school and leaves with an ultimatum. Yes, this is what survival in the "wilderness" looks like in the 21st century. No smartphone, no internet. Trapped with people.
