The film “Jumpers” explores teleportation and the conflict with anti-globalization Palatans. Jumpers use teleportation to evade danger at home and escape challenging life situations, while Palatins view them as abominations, believing teleportation should be reserved for God and their community.
A war between Junpers and Palatin has been going on since the dark ages.
“Jumpers” delves into the timeless conflict between business and local religious nationalists who are apprehensive about external business influences. A significant example is the contrast between the capitalistic North and the pre-industrial, slave-based economy of the South.
