The Great European Disaster Movie

The Present and Future of the European Union

Combining drama and documentary, THE GREAT EUROPEAN DISASTER MOVIE examines current-day Europe and the challenges that are mounting against the European Union's survival. Beset by growing nationalism and an increasing dissatisfaction with its undemocratic political structure, will Europe descend into a apocalyptic future?

Using interviews, archival footage, and drama, Annalisa Piras constructs a picture of a Europe that is worth fighting for. Following six different European individuals and their stories, she shows the immense positives of a Union that has prevented major wars since the fall of Nazi Germany but also highlights that it is an organisation in need of major reform.

Subtle, profound and witty, THE GREAT EUROPEAN DISASTER MOVIE is far more than just a political film. Instead, it frames Europe through the eyes of those who are most important to its success: the Europeans themselves.
