ZERO

(in development)

ZERO tells the story of one of the most influential yet unknown figures of the 20th Century, journalist and novelist John Hersey. In 1946, with the support of the New Yorker magazine, Hersey revealed to the world the true cost of nuclear weaponry by telling the stories of six survivors of the bombing of Hiroshima. The impact of this article was felt all over the world and dramatically shifted the public perception of nuclear weapons.

ZERO explores the idea of the impact of the individual’s action or inaction on the future. Set in an alternative future where Hersey has recoiled from the responsibility of telling this dramatic truth, nuclear weapons have been used once more, and in Purgatory, Hersey is faced with the consequences of his inaction.
