GAMMA

Neil Blomkamp would be proud. This amazing video by Factory Fifteen tells the tale of an alternate, post apocalyptic earth ravaged by nuclear war and one man's recollection of the cleanup efforts by a group known as 'GAMMA.' Its a tale of corporations trying to profit off of cleanup efforts with ineffective, cheap methods (Dubbed as 'nuke roots') that actually end up damaging the landscape even further. In a way it kind of reminded me of the miraculous powers of the 'GECK' from Fallout 2 (Kudos to you if you remember this), which I remember spending 60-70 hours searching for and wondering what type of miracles it could do for my dying village.

This cautionary scifi tale/faux documentary was actually shot on location in Ukraine and Kazakhstan on real fallout sites including Chernobyl to give it a more authentic feel. I especially loved how they weaved the monologue of one of the victims into the visual narration of the damage that the whole 'nuke root' initiative had caused. Check out the making of GAMMA and some concept art/stills after the break! Love it.
