Experience the story of THE HUNGER GAMES -- 64 years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute, and decades before Coriolanus Snow became the tyrannical President of Panem. THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES follows a young Coriolanus (Tom Blyth) who is the last hope for his failing lineage, the once-proud Snow family that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol. With his livelihood threatened, Snow is reluctantly assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler), a tribute from the impoverished District 12. But after Lucy Gray's charm captivates the audience of Panem, Snow sees an opportunity to shift their fates. With everything he has worked for hanging in the balance, Snow unites with Lucy Gray to turn the odds in their favor. Battling his instincts for both good and evil, Snow sets out on a race against time to survive and reveal if he will ultimately become a songbird or a snake.

Recommended for ages 14+ for strong violent content and disturbing material. 

I'm taken by its attempt at being the Lawrence of Arabia of YA movies, and its exploration of how tyranny is fuelled by self-preservation and how people condone state-sanctioned violence out of fear and desperation. That conversation really hits today. - Radheyan Simonpillai CTV's Your Morning

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is an engaging, gritty, and entertaining prequel that takes a significant leap by strategically focusing on the politics of the Panem Capitol - Cinemania
