What If Your City Had No Electricity For One Year?

Every light. Every screen. Every pump. Every hospital machine. Every payment system. Gone. Not for a day. Not for a week. For 365 days. This is the story of what happens to a modern city of 3 million people when the electricity never comes back. In this 15-minute documentary, we follow one year without power — through winter, spring, summer, and autumn. We watch the city lose water, food, heat, and communication… and then watch what rises in its place. The community that forms. The skills that return. The things we discover we actually need — and the things we can live without.
