IFWT #10 - Threads (1984)

Threads is set in Sheffield in the 1980s, where the threat of a nuclear strike constantly looms as people go about their everyday lives. Committees of poorly qualified individuals are amassed to deal with the effects of an impending attack, and when one does eventually come, the country is decimated. Millions are killed by the blast and even more by the fallout that follows. A harrowing docudrama that terrified viewers upon its released, and continues to be one of the most shocking and realistic depictions of life in a post-apocalyptic world.
