Apocalypse Songs

"The episodes walk the knife-edge of tense drama while still finding warmth in the many interviews which help Amy unpack and uncover the story... I think [Apocalypse Songs] is a real milestone for this genre in Aotearoa."
John Anderson, Theatreview
Picture
A local radio station reporter Amy Louise Chen decides to air a feature on an obscure 1960s musician called Clara Wilson, whose cryptic lyrics seem to have predicted the future. Curious, Amy joins forces with Clara's great-nephew Josh to investigate the Clara's mysterious life and death, but there is more to her story than it first appears.

"This five-part tale from New Zealand holds you captivated with world-building rooted in reality and original music composed by [Katie] Morton. It feels like NPR meets a found-footage horror, so be prepared to be pulled into the brackish waters of the unknown."
- Amber Bulinski, Bello Collective
