Protect and Survive
Threads
Threads is a 1984 BBC television docudrama depicting the effects of a nuclear war on the United Kingdom and its aftermath.
Similar to our project, this shows that "trouble hotspots" are also timeless, only with the USSR/Russia being removed from the equation, but Iran and the Middle East playing a big part, as with current talk about Iran and its nuclear plans.
The War Game
The War Game was scheduled for transmission on August 6, 1966 (the anniversary of the Hiroshima attack) but was not transmitted until 1985, the corporation publicly stating that "the effect of the film has been judged by the BBC to be too horrifying for the medium of broadcasting".
Despite this, it won the Academy Award for Documentary Feature in 1966.
