About

A documentary road trip along California's San Andreas Fault examines the certainty of a major earthquake and the open question of when.

The Belgian-French documentary Drop! Cover! Hold On! by Stéphanie Roland takes the viewer on a road trip along the San Andreas Fault in California. The film begins with the certainty that a major earthquake will occur there, while the question of when it will happen remains open. Along the fault, the earth's plates release built-up tension roughly every two hundred to three hundred years. According to seismologists, a destructive earthquake is possible before 2035. The documentary combines this geological situation with reflections on minerals.
