Grief and Hope in Face of the Failing Human Project

"I have come to occupy a knowing that humanity likely will never alter its
multifariously failing trajectory".  I guess the core question trying to
be answered here is whether people simply accept humanity's inevitable
extinction or not.  It always comes back to Aniara: if you were on the
ship, would you remain calm and live out your life the best as you can or
you would do something violent, like fight or riot or commit suicide?
"Children of Men" (I guess that could be another film on the roster) and
"Last Night" answer that by saying "riot and react", for the most part.  I
feel like we've seen an end-of-the-world film where that didn't happen,
but I cannot think of it.
