"Disaster Playground" is a documentary that delves into the real-life protocols and key figures responsible for safeguarding Earth from potential asteroid impacts. Contrary to Hollywood's portrayal of such scenarios, the film offers an in-depth look at the scientists and decision-makers—from institutions like NASA and the SETI Institute to the White House and the United Nations—who develop and implement strategies to monitor and deflect hazardous Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). Through reenactments and interviews, the documentary examines the complexities and human elements involved in planetary defense, highlighting the meticulous planning and coordination required to prevent catastrophic events.
