Despite The War Game being awarded the Oscar for Best Documentary, the film was so disturbing to military circles that the BBC, under pressure from them, banned its screening for 20 years.This work, made with very limited resources but with sharp editing and an extraordinary use of documentation, has become one of the undisputed references in its genre.
Unfortunately, the issues raised by the film remain relevant today. Weapons of mass destruction, those capable of destroying civilization, are as real today as they were in 1966.
