When the Wind Blows (1986)

This was rather a dreadful movie.  While I say dreadful, it is not that it is a bad film, in fact it probably should have been watched by everyone, but it tells a sad tale of how misguided the government's provided information about nuclear attacks were. Thankfully, the danger presented by this film (and the dissemination of propaganda) has been greatly reduced.

I first heard of this film after finding out that Roger Waters had done music for the soundtrack. In fact the film had a number of notable musicians performing on it's soundtrack, including David Bowie.  It also attracted my attention as it is a animated film.

The film follows an older couple who take precautions prior to and after an nuclear attack.  It follows and shows the futility of their actions and their sort of "keep a stiff upper lip" attitude, attempting to ignore their inescapable fate.
