Acclaimed documentarian Joshua Oppenheimer takes on the apocalypse with a bold, genre-bending musical that aims to shake audiences from their complacency.
beat sheet
  • Oppenheimer originally never intended 'The End' to be a musical, but the format organically emerged as a way to explore mankind's looming doom in a thought-provoking yet accessible way.
  • Starring Oscar-winners Michael Shannon and Tilda Swinton, 'The End' is a departure from Oppenheimer's previous hard-hitting documentaries, yet still maintains his signature style of challenging viewers to confront hard truths.
