Forty years ago in 1984, Mick Jackson’s devastatingly honest account of the effect of nuclear war rocked cinema and television screens. Centering on the city of Sheffield and the travails of two families trying to navigate the impact of a nuclear attack, Threads details the social, environmental, medical and political consequences of nuclear war. Winner of four BAFTA awards and honoured as a masterpiece by film critics at the time and posthumously, Threads is more relevant than ever.
