Name: Doomsday Chronicles
Genre: Documentary
Duration: 1 h 34 min
Rating: 5.1
Cast: William Schallert, George O. Abell, Sam Keen

This is a documentary about the dangers that plague humanity circa late 1970's (ozone holes, pollution, war, cancer, etc). The documentary doesn't go too far into the pseudo science/super natural territory other then a quick reference to Nostradamus to explain how the world is going to end in 1999. Ultimately it ends with the idea that living in closer harmony with nature will result in an avoidance of doomsday as well as a happier life for everyone involved. The talking heads and footage they use is pretty par for the course given the time period. But what really pushes this documentary above the rest is the fantastic moog music.

I'm not sure I'd suggest you actively seek this one out but if you happen across it and love late 70's, early 80's moog music then you might give it a watch.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
