Do not Panic!

The Covid pandemic caught the whole world unprepared. Guri Alfi and Lucy Ayoub, a popular Israeli comedian and a journalist, realise that the next catastrophe is only a matter of time, and they’ll do anything they can to get us prepared. It may be a devastating earthquake, a petrochemical or nuclear disaster, a cyber-attack, a terrible tsunami, extreme weather caused by global warming etc. Each chapter focuses on a different existential threat and moves between two timelines — present and future. From a future everyday situation and comic dynamics between Guri and Lucy, the disaster suddenly unfolds with the help of special effects. Then senior state officials, academic experts, survivors and a variety of people who voluntarily prepare for catastrophes in the future are interviewed. So we get a status-quo on the conditions we all live in, on their possible dangers, and on how to prepare for catastrophes on a personal, community and government level. This series deals with the most burning issues in an intelligent, innovative, and unique way. A serious and profound approach, mixed with a comical note, makes these important topics accessible to a broad audience, showing how thin the line between anxiety and humour is, and how the combination between them can save lives.
