After Armageddon

After the pandemic...
This was shown on the History Channel a number of times and is arguably the best mass disaster/social collapse docudrama overview made to date. The basic scenario revolves around a global pandemic that kills off most but not all of the population in the advanced industrial world. The fictional scenario is shown with commentary by various experts about what happened in the past and recent real disasters.

After Armageddon video
My wife and I saw the ending of this video on the History Channel and decided to get it. This video to us both is very well put about the way things would be if something like this ever happened in the world. With the way the world is changing in this life time, we all need to be prepared SOME HOW and this is a very good film telling somewhat about the way things would pretty much be.

It came in before the due date and loved it. Thank you to Amazon. I will buy ALL my stuff from here. They are EXCELLENT!!!!
