Imagine. You've just settled into your new apartment when you hear an explosion. You run towards the window, separate the blinds with your fingers and let your eyes scan the landscape. Then you see it. A black cloud rising above the rooftops. A million thoughts invade your mind and consume you. 'Are you going to die? Are we at war? Is this the end?' The "Dirty Bomb Diaries" tells the story of Misty, a young girl living in an unnamed city when it is suddenly attacked by terrorists. She must try to survive the chaos that is running rampant throughout the city.
Days go by and Misty sees the city unravel before her eyes. Panic engulfs the streets, shutting down traffic and every day life. Misty is confined to her apartment where she desperately tries to salvage the few supplies that remain from the increasingly empty stores. Power failures become mundain and the voices roaming outside her apartment are growing louder with each passing day. As Misty falls ill and unable to visit a doctor, she realizes she cannot do this alone. After Misty recovers, she seeks out the help of a man who's able to get her a few supplies. But when someone tries to break into her home, she asks the man for something else: a gun. Slowly we see Misty change from an insecure, scared and helpless girl to a woman who is willing to do anything to survive. Changed by the dramatic circumstances she must fight in order to escape the decaying city around her.
"Dirty Bomb Diaries" is a sixteen-part miniseries that is available on YouTube and each episode is around 2:30 minutes. Definitely worth to take a look at. Even though it is a low-budget and home-made series, it is still quite enjoyable and echoes the great nuclear holocaust movies such as "The Day After" and the exhilarating "Jericho" series.
