Summary: Set in the future, technology has become so advanced that microchips are implanted into individuals to record every aspect of their life. There are, however, organisations that vehemently oppose the technological monitoring...

Omar Naim's futuristic science-fiction story generates many mysterious, alluring, and thought-provoking questions about memory, surveillance, and the ethics of personal privacy. Set in the future, THE FINAL CUT offers a vision of a world where soon-to-be parents agree to let doctors surgically implant memory chips into the brains of their unborn children. These memory chips are like video cameras with infinite tape stock that comprehensively record the lives of their hosts through the hosts' own eyes--for better or for worse. When a host dies, a cutter--played here by an eerily introspective Robin Williams--receives the memory chip footage from the deceased person's family in order to edit the memories for a palatable funereal screening, called a 'rememory'. But are memories public or private... Is it fair for a cutter to decide what comprises a host's life story... And do people behave differently knowing that someone will view their lives, even their most intimate and discreet moments, as a short film
