What if The Hunger Games isn't just a dystopian story — but a warning about what happens when we kill God and replace Him with power, media, and manipulation?

In this video essay, I break down Sunrise on the Reaping, Suzanne Collins’ new prequel to The Hunger Games, and dive deep into how it explores propaganda, just war theory, and a post-God society where truth is manufactured, and morality is weaponized. We’ll connect it to real-world politics, faith, and the systems that train us to dehumanize.

Topics covered:

The Death of God (Nietzsche, faith, and Capitol ideology)
Propaganda in Sunrise on the Reaping and real life
Just war theory vs. Capitol warfare
How both sides become the Capitol
Suzanne Collins' message for our generation
What happens when morality dies and media takes over

👀 Whether you’re a Christian, a Hunger Games fan, or just suspicious of power — this video’s for you. Stay til the end, because the twist will change how you see the whole series.
