PREMISE
‘Unthinkable’ analytically reconstructs grave events that drastically altered the institutional, political, and social structures of various nations. The program utilizes archival audiovisual footage and panels of experts to break down the origins and consequences of events with international repercussions, such as mass shootings, terrorist attacks, assassinations of high-profile figures, and global-scale catastrophes.
NARRATIVE APPROACH
Each episode seeks to address three fundamental pillars: the reconstruction of objective facts, an assessment of the immediate geopolitical impact, and an analysis of the regulatory or cultural repercussions stemming from these events that persist to this day.
