Threads, broadcast on BBC in 1984, challenged viewers to confront the reality of a nuclear bomb detonating in a British city, portraying its harrowing consequences.
The film not only portrayed a realistic and horrifying scenario but also influenced public dialogue around nuclear war and left a lasting impact on those who viewed it.
With its kitchen-sink drama style, Threads juxtaposed ordinary life with rising international tensions, ultimately transforming into a powerful narrative after the bomb drops.
As part of commemorating its 40th anniversary, a new radio documentary dives into Threads' creation and explores the film's cultural and political legacy.
