Bleak Week expands globally by programming films that embrace despair to reveal unpleasant truths and raw empathy through patience and humanism.
The short version: IT is broken. It's not working, to the point where people are ready to give it up, just like they would a mangled hammer. I think the brokenness is rooted in a lack of humanism: it doesn't work for people; it uses people towards the builders' ends. It's also more complicated than that, which I parse through while also giving a clue about how to get out of being stuck.
