From Mars to Earth and underneath. Above and Below is a rough and rhythmic roller coaster ride seating five survivors in their daily hustle through an apocalyptic world. A journey of challenges and beauty in uncomfortable places: Rick & Cindy, Godfather Lalo in the flood channels deep down under the shiny strip of Sin City. Dave in the dry and lonesome Californian desert and April in simulation for a Mars mission in the Utah desert. Through the hustle, the pain and the laughs, we are whisked away to an unfamiliar world, yet quickly discover the souls we encounter are perhaps not that different from our own.Written by

tunnel dweller:
As you can see there's nothing there, right? Nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing. That white image was right about there. It was a life-size image. And I saw her clear as day, and could see just white coming towards me. But the worst thing about is, I could hear no footsteps.

The people are crazy but mostly in good ways. Although they are all from the usual stereotypical out-groups they are, at times, charming, open and interesting. Their lives aren't paraded gratuitously and it didn't feel squeamish to me.
I felt something for them all.
And, sorry to be tech-y, but the way the music works with the imagery is clever and affecting.
I learned something and it made me think.
Inspirational, sweet and deep.
