But coexistence begins to fracture after a comedian’s televised anti-Folk routine ignites a wave of public hostility. What starts as a comedy bit soon escalates into discrimination, propaganda, segregation, and state-sanctioned violence.

Meanwhile, activist Tsvetanka Bakalowitz is drawn into a growing resistance movement fighting to save the Folk from eradication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the world debates semantics and politicians stall under the guise of caution, silence leads to genocide.
