You’re dying, it’s an incurable disease and you can do nothing to stop it. Now, imagine you have the resources and technology has advanced to a degree that you can have yourself cloned down to the most miniscule memories and capabilities and that your clone won’t have the genetic predisposition for the same deathly illness that is killing you. This clone can take over your life and make sure that your family has no idea that you have died. Would you do it?
That’s the premise of the new movie, Swan Song starring Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali. In Swan Song, Mahershala Ali plays Cameron Turner, a graphic designer who has a pretty terrific life. Several years before the start of this story, Cameron met and fell in love with Poppy Turner, played by Naomie Harris. Together, Cameron and Poppy made a beautiful life which included a son and, as we join the story, a new baby on the way.
