BBC Threads

Anyone ever seen this? It's a story about the cold war escalating to nuclear war in the early 80's. It was made by the BBC.

I watched it last night, and it was absolutely chilling. I love dystopian movies, but this one may take the cake.

I never saw it last night but I watched it when it first came out. It was great - very thought provoking.

True story

1984.

Headed to work.

Trudged out of the subway, 6:45 AM.

Head foggy. Passed a newspaper box.

Headline shouted:

SOVIETS LAUNCH NUCLEAR ATTACK ON U.S.!

Stopped.

Looked around.

Secretarys swarmed to work in sneakers. Skyscrapers scraped the sky. Noted the world hadn't ended.

Exhaled.

Pledged to read about it during lunch
