Life After People (TV Movie 2008)

Life After People: Directed by David de Vries. With Struan Rodger, John Anderson, David Brin, Bill Bruninga. Visit the ghostly villages surrounding Chernobyl (abandoned by humans after the 1986 nuclear disaster), travel to remote islands off the coast of Maine to search for abandoned towns that have vanished from view in only a few decades, then head beneath the streets of New York to see how subway tunnels may become watery canals. A visual journey, LIFE AFTER PEOPLE is a thought provoking adventure that combines movie-quality visual effects with insights from experts in the fields of engineering, botany, ecology, biology, geology, climatology, and archeology to demonstrate how the very landscape of our planet will change in our absence.

“This movie was definitely interesting. I loved imagining what places like New York City would look like without people. The images of zoo animalsu0026#39; establishing an ecosystem in deserted cities really makes you think. The one thing that I didnu0026#39;t quite get was how people are going to disappear and all the wildlife still live on unaffected. I know that was not supposed to go into how people vanished but the entire premise was kind of like if we took off in a spaceship or rapture or something. I think that in reality, whatever causes people end our run on earth will affect most of the wildlife also. Regardless, this was a well thought out film that causes us to think of humanity as a very temporary part of earthu0026#39;s history and not the end-all-be-all of the universe.”
