Can a government workgroup or employee be immoral if they lack intent? Do the prolonged processes and frequent incompetence of a bureaucracy mean it’s a benign entity or a malevolent one? These are some of the questions driving MICROAGGRESSIONS, a narrative series about embedded bureaucratic bias, written and directed by filmmaker Brian Padian.
Where Season One concerned a mediation in a municipal conference room, Season Two puts focus on two hours one summer morning in 2020 after a report of human waste in a breakroom sink, exploring across six episodes how different individuals intersect with the situation, viewpoints informed by their titles, their stations, the stress in their personal lives. MICROAGGRESSIONS is a darkly humorous look at how fixed bureaucratic systems are impacted by the endless variables of human individuality.
World premiere at Dances With Films on June 24
