American Blackout Nat Geo 10/27 9PM | Page 3 | Emergency Preparedness | Forums

I am a bit late to the party on this but I enjoyed the movie overall. I thought it showed the futility that most Americans would have if a situation were to actually happen. I also don't think they portrayed the prepper family very well. it appeared like the dad and the son were the only ones actively involved in the prepping lifestyle. Also, I think it was stupid to show the boyfriend all the stores but i think that was more for the audience's sake than anything. The bunker needing fuel (the reason he went outside and was caught) was really stupid. why put all this work into a bunker only to leave the fuel unsecured across the compound?

The one question that never got answered for me was the boy who's mom was a nurse. I assumed his mom was killed or trapped (why else would she leave him alone for 10 days) but what happened to him in the end? It shows him hearing noises in his basement (that I couldn't hear) so he goes to investigate with his revolver and goPro, and then... nothing. Every other group had closure to their story but this one.

Can anyone tell me what was supposed to happen?

Well go figure. The DVR recording I had cut off right after the prepper's learned that the power was back on.

Now I feel like an idiot.
