The film's central thesis explicitly critiques disaster capitalism and the exploitation of communities by profit-driven interests, aligning with core progressive ideologies and systemic critiques.
The film incorporates a diverse cast, including characters of color and openly queer and disabled actors, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. While diversity is visible, the narrative does not deeply explore these identities or explicitly critique traditional ones.
