The famous movie or book series, The Hunger Games, highlights the same struggle Fanon explains between the oppressed and the oppressors. A nation called Panem consists of 12 districts of people and one ruling Capitol. At one point in their history, the oppressed people of Panem rose and violently rebelled against the Capitol; however, the Capitol overcame this challenge and overpowered the districts. Each year, as a reminder of this rebellion and a reminder of the overbearing power the Capitol has, the Capitol holds the Hunger Games. As Fanon may see it, this annual fight to the death between 24 teenagers serves as a reminder for the oppressed or colonized to “…remain in [their] place and not overstep its limits” (Fanon, p. 144), like they had done once before. These 12 districts are already in bad living conditions, in which they are not provided with the means to adequately provide for themselves and their families. Every instance in which they get food from the Capitol, their name is entered into the reaping one more time. Katniss Everdeen is a teen from District 12, who hunts. This is very risky, for if a member of he Capitol catches her, the punishments would be infinite. Katniss is a tribute from District 12 who volunteered herself in the spot of her
