The War Game 1966

★★★★

Watched 31 Jul 2022

Alarmist docudrama about a hypothetical nuclear attack on Britain that couldn’t be presented on TV until 1985, in order not to terrify people, but it was released on theaters in 1966.  

I guess that it was a good decision not to present it on TV until 1985 since it was a warning of a possible casuistry of misfortunes that could take place before the year 1980, as it states.

It’s a great documentary made by the BBC, it’s also entertaining but well it’s like a warning alarm for the population, in the economic and social sphere. 

Desperate and frightened people, babys and kids crying, infrastructures being destroyed, fires… it’s a bit raw.

All in all, if you like documentaries, check this out, it looks like a narrated movie, it manages to entertain the viewer and it’s well made.
