After the Dark
Smart. Talented. Beautiful. Stranded.
Directed by John Huddles
Produced by SCTV
A high-concept philosophical thriller that uses a thought experiment about nuclear apocalypse to probe questions of survival, worth, and human choice among privileged teenagers.
At an international school in Jakarta, a philosophy teacher challenges his class of twenty graduating seniors to choose which ten of them would take shelter underground and reboot the human race in the event of a nuclear apocalypse.
