“Break the machine, change the games”
Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “Taking place 24 years before the first film, a young Haymitch Abernathy is selected to compete in the fiftieth Hunger Games. Every twenty-fifth edition of the games, known as a Quarter Quell, adds a special twist to the annual Hunger Games rules. For the 50th Hunger Games, each district of Panem must send twice the number of tributes to the Capitol, who will fight to the death in a televised spectacle.”
