The Cold War Bunker

The Doomsday Clock (Part 2)

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Cold War Bunker. Part 2 of our feature on The Doomsday Clock. This video takes a look at the Pop Culture & Societal impacts on the clock since its inception in 1947.

Through the years we find that the hands of the doomsday clock are not the only thing changing. Factors that determine the “time”, people who make the decision, and the motives behind its resetting all ebb and flow throughout the years.
Whether we find ourselves ebbing, or flowing, with the bulletins' determinations, one thing remains certain: mankind is doing itself no favors as it pertains to the “balance” we live with.
