Awake

Awake (2021) is a sci-fi thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director Mark Raso builds a world where a sudden surge fries every electronic device at once, and humankind loses the ability to sleep.

A body without rest doesn't last long. One day, two, three, then come the hallucinations, the panic and the slow collapse of the mind. Jill, an ex-soldier carrying a troubled past, drags her two kids across a country sliding into chaos. Then she notices something impossible: her daughter Matilda still sleeps. The girl might be the only path to a cure, which makes everyone want her, from the military to desperate neighbors to cult-like believers. Gina Rodriguez leads the cast alongside Ariana Greenblatt, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Barry Pepper.

Released on Netflix, the film runs as a pure survival experiment: what does a person do when the brain shuts down from exhaustion and the clock keeps ticking. The tagline says it plainly: sleep is survival. Stream Awake (2021) online on iFILM.
