How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

An unflinching, documentary-like descent into the immediate and long-term devastation of nuclear war on an ordinary English city and its ordinary people. Watching it feels less like entertainment and more like bearing witness to something you cannot look away from.
