<p>In the last two years, the world has experienced a ton of crazy events. The pandemic, of course, stealing the spotlight for another year. But, they say laughing in the face of fear is a sign of the brave. Netflix has proved its bravery by making a mockumentary called Death to 2021. So, let us look at how brave Netflix has been in its latest venture.</p>
<h3>What is Netflix&#8217;s Death to 2021 all about?</h3>
<p>The mockumentary on Netflix takes a dark yet funny spin on recent events by mixing actual news footage and scripted interviews. Netflix released the movie on December 27, but the streamer had dropped a clip on December 2 itself.</p>
