Add to My Documents The Zombie Podcast - We're Alive - A Story of Survival Synopsis: A small riot in LA has spread past its containment. Three reserve soldiers are called to their deserted duty station. Believed to be the last remaining armed servicemen in the area, Michael, Angel, and Saul witness the true cause of the riot; people are starting to change and attack each other.

We’re Alive is a Zombie Radio Drama that follows the survival of “the tower”.
