As we bid adieu to a year filled with chaos and confusion, Netflix has released a trailer for its latest project, “Farewell to 2020.” This mockumentary reflects on the tumultuous events of the past year, which has introduced us to terms like pandemic, lockdown, misinformation, remote work, and social distancing.
Echoing the sentiments of Zora Neale Hurston, who noted that some years pose questions while others provide answers, 2020 has certainly stirred a multitude of inquiries. With its endless twists reminiscent of a hidden camera show, it seems fitting for Netflix to collaborate with the creators of “Black Mirror,” Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones, to deliver a memorable farewell to this year of uncertainty.
About the Mockumentary
“Farewell to 2020” is a comedic mockumentary that lampoons the most absurd moments of the year through the lens of a serious news documentary. The film features a star-studded cast, including Rachel Green, Daniel Craig, Tessa Thompson, and Ken Jeong, with narration by Morgan Freeman.
According to reports, Rachel Green plays a news anchor; Daniel Craig embodies a history professor with a quirky love for pop culture; Ken Jeong portrays the CEO of a tech startup; and Tessa Thompson takes on the role of a regular citizen trying to navigate the chaos. The characters collectively highlight the bizarre nature of the year, with Thompson humorously stating, “Describing it as a trainwreck and a disaster would be too kind to both trains and disasters.”
Brooker shared that the mix of fictional characters discussing real events in a flamboyant mockumentary style made it a perfect fit for Netflix. He stated, “While the film tackles serious themes, it’s infused with humor, blending satire with a playful approach to the absurdities of 2020.”
