Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in the Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimdations of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch.”
