What if the climate apocalypse became the ultimate sales pitch?
"Apocalypse Baby, We Advertise The End Of The World" is a cynical Teleshopping Show that uses the fear of climate apocalypse as a reason to convince the audience to consume more and more.
A pop satire about consumerism and climate crisis, about global warming and individualism, about hedonism and guilty conscience and about the contradictions inside of each one of us.
