On the Morning You Wake (To the End of the World)

On a regular Saturday morning in January 2018, as people in Hawai’i went about their daily routines, the entire state population received an SMS from the Hawaiʻi Emergency Management Agency: Ballistic Missile Threat Inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill.

As panic took hold of the population, 1.4m people (as well as their friends and relatives across the globe) came to understand the real, growing and urgent nature of today’s threat from nuclear weapons.

The threat from nuclear weapons is unimaginable—out of sight, and out of our control. This three-part virtual reality documentary makes clear the fundamental injustice of a world held hostage by nuclear weapons.
