Primary
The film leans left by implicitly critiquing unethical military experimentation and government overreach, portraying the dangerous consequences of such programs on both soldiers and civilians.
The film features visible diversity in its supporting cast with a prominent role played by a Black actor. However, the narrative does not explicitly engage with or critique traditional identities, nor does it center on DEI themes.
Secondary
