Forty years on, #Threads has lost none of its dramatic power. Its shocking depiction of the aftermath of a #nuclear attack sears itself into your mind.
Last night I showed Threads to my #GenZ daughter for the first time. As Russia withdraws from its nuclear non-proliferation treaties and now France proposes expanding its nuclear umbrella, the message of Threads is unfortunately as relevant now as it was in 1984.
@strangequark The War Game is worth a rewatch too.

Slightly harder to get but chilling
@Printdevil I was just reading the write-up of Threads in Scarred for Life (which I bought following your recommendation) and it also mentions The War Game. Noted!
First I have to watch the documentaries on DVD disk 2.
@strangequark War Game is available from the BFI I think, it's very very bleak.
Like.. drenched lashings of Bleak
@strangequark There are some of those we didn't get in the 70s/80s because they were considered a bit "inflammatory" for the Northern Irish. The social history of that is worth digging into on a personal level I think.
