Life after people

Life after people

DVD - 2008

What will the world be like when mankind is extinct? The pyramids may stand forever, but the cities will disappear. Our greatest masterpieces will fade and crumble. As global warming and the depletion of natural resources become ever more pressing issues it is critical to consider how we can reduce our impact on the planet. Journey to locations around the globe already going through the processes of a lack of human intervention. See the changes wrought in just decades in ghostly settlements like Chernobyl, which was abandoned since only 1986, and island towns off the coast of Maine. How long would it take before the last remnants of mankind completely disappeared?

Review by Library Journal Review

"What if" planet Earth today had no human beings? This film embarks on a global journey through a sequential time period of one day, two weeks, six months, one year, and so on, showing the various types of breakdowns within our human-made environment as narrated by urban ecologists, civil engineers, biologists, and other scientists. One level of collapse shows how animals and insects will or won't survive. Another scenario demonstrates how ecosystems thrive within the remnants of our industrialized world, e.g., a now-crumbled Hoover Dam. Visually stunning and thought-provoking; highly recommended.-LaRoi Lawton, Library & Learning Resources, Bronx Community Coll., CUNY (c) Copyright 2010.
