When I become a dictator
"When I become a dictator" is a science fiction documentary constructed from hundreds of amateur 8mm and Super 8 reels from the 1940s to the present day. What if we lived other lives in other universes? Rather than a vast, infinite waste of space, the universe would be populated by all possibilities. There, I would be an adventurer, a psychopath, an exemplary mother, an accountant, or an invisible man… And you?
