"Documentaries" on life after catastrophes

Post Reply New Topic

Do you like paradocumentary movies, showing the world after some catastrophe that hit our planet? Which ones? I recently discovered "Super Comet: After the Impact" and I'm watching this I also really very like Life After People.

I like Life After People as well. I recently watched an episode about the ghost town of Rhyolite, Nevada, that was very interesting.

there is a whole series called aftermath, inspired by life after people.

very good,they do over dramatize some of tehse issues and i have found a few minor factual oversights but all in all they are great viewing.

Yep. I love "Life After People" and "Aftermath: Population Zero".

Also (don't know if this counts): "The Future Is Wild". It's not after a catastrophe per se, just millions of years in the future after humans have left Earth.

Here is another one that you might like.

Also, check out Earth 2100

I find them quite entertaining myself, though they aren't always realistic.

I second the recommendation of "earth 2100", I love the whole doom genre and this one is my absolute favorite.

It would be a good idea for a series showing the life of people after a tragedy in their life - how the whole situation influenced the life of their family, how people after an accident/amputation/house fire/death of their spouse dealt with it afterwards. But there are indeed many documentaries showing people like that, on their own. Like a girl lost her leg after a shark's attack on her - what it looked like and what her life after recovery was like; stuff like that.
