    And the American version was The Day After (1983)

    Entirely different movies with the same premise. The Day After messed me up as a kid. But Threads haunts me as an adult.

    The Day After gets way more fucked up when you watch the roundtable discussion that took place after its premiere. Now that's some parallel reality mental prolapse.

    its on youtube. and it is quite fucked up. with folks like that end of the world is probably the best case scenario.

    as an addon - there was also BBC After Dark episode about Chornobyl which was "white people feeling bad about famine in Africa" level of white savior bullshit - their arrogance is actively repulsive.

    There's also When the Wind Blows, if you want to be depressed but also want an absolute banger of a soundtrack.
