Screening of CND film 'The War Game'
8 October 2015, Harrogate
The BFI describes the film as 'a controversial and harrowing film which, after the BBC had reluctantly allowed a cinema release, garnered huge critical praise internationally, winning a number of prizes, including an Academy Award.'
However, 'the nuclear war drama was withheld by the BBC - possibly as a result of political pressure - and remained unshown for nearly twenty years, finally being transmitted on 31st July 1985.'
2015 is the 70th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, the 50th
anniversary of the filming of The War Game and now 30 years since it was first screened on the BBC.
The screening is free. Please get in touch to register your
interest as places are limited.
