TUDW EP 47 - The War Game (1965) - a podcast by Huw Lloyd

The War Game (1965)

Joining me on this episode is none other than Liam Jones. You can find Liam on Twitter @LiamMJones1994 and on Instagram.

In this British documentary, a hypothetical Chinese invasion of South Vietnam triggers a new world war between East and West. In the town of Rochester, Kent, the anticipation of a nuclear attack leads to mass evacuations. When a stray missile actually explodes, the ensuing firestorm blinds all those who see it. It's not long before the fabric of society is ripped apart owing to radiation poisoning, a lack of infrastructure and rioting for food and other necessities.
