National Security: The Modern Leviathan.

The famed sea serpent that roams our oceans and threatens the souls of the damned was said to have been killed by God and fed to the righteous. But have we really rid ourselves of the monster? Or has man simply recreated it in the name of National Security, unwittingly making an insatiable monster that will only grow to threaten him?

The Gods are Alive channel explores mythologies and their modern equivalents. Monsters and Gods may or may not be fictional, but they are very much alive in some form or another today. And whatever be their driving force: love, hate, fear, jealousy, pride, humility… we cover it, learn from it, and hopefully, all be better for it.
