All the Lost Ones is a dystopian sci-fi thriller that explores the human cost of climate catastrophe and political collapse. Set in a near-future North America fractured by civil war, the story follows Nia, her younger sister Penny, and Nia’s boyfriend Ethan as they seek refuge in a remote cabin. Their fragile peace is shattered when a militant faction, led by the ruthless Conrad, forces its way into their lives.
Directed by Mackenzie Donaldson and written by Anthony Grant and Cheryl Meyer, the film combines intense personal drama with broader themes of resistance, survival, and moral ambiguity. With standout performances from Jasmine Mathews, Vinessa Antoine, and Devon Sawa, All the Lost Ones presents a grim vision of what happens when society turns on itself — and what’s left when all trust is lost
