I had never heard of #TheAtomicCafe before.
A fascinating #documentary about how the media, the state, and vested interests discussed and disseminated information on nuclear weapons. It's all very #Fallout.
No commentary whatsoever, other than what's in the original footage used, and some excellent editing.
Two consecutive #YouTube #movies (#TheAtomicCafe, #HarrisonBergeron) with #emotionally gutting endings.
I'm going to eat then watch junk tv for the rest of the night 😟
With my band on.
And yeah, we were shown the #DuckAndCover "#educational" #film when I was in elementary school, a few times.
#MushroomClouds were what I doodled the most in the margins of my notebook paper during classes, almost continuously, throughout elementary and junior high school.

I recommend #BarbenHeimer #Cafe after viewing the 2018 #restoratuon of the 1982 #documentary #film, #TheAtomicCafe.
I knew the information and had seen many of the clips in this #movie (100% #archival #footage), but seeing it all in one go hit differently.
It shows exactly how truly #propangandistic the #US #government has always been, disregarding its citizens, civilians, and soldiers.
The ending is a gut punch stronger than #Nolan's fictional one.
