Somebody on Twitter mentioned being an admirer of Peter Watkins, who directed THE WAR GAME and several historical docs. The name was new to me, but I was glad to find this on NWI. THE WAR GAME is a fairly shocking pseudo documentary about the potential nuclear fallout in Britain after WWIII. Of course I have no technical knowledge of such things, but THE WAR GAME feels entirely authentic and believable. Scary shit.
