This week we tackled a truly harrowing film. Arguably director Peter Watkins’ finest work ‘The War Game’. An anti-nuclear war film that takes Watkins’ pseudo-documentary style to its pinnacle to tell the story of what a Britain during a nuclear war might look like.
Suppressed by the BBC and government the film still won an Oscar. There is still a lack of a trailer for the film online. We put this one together to give those who haven’t seen the film have some idea of what it’s like. Watch the full trailer below!
