1983: The Brink Of Apocalypse
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1630001170436508560#

An extremely powerful programme, this documentary focuses on 8 November 1983, a date now recognised as one of the most dangerous moments in the entire history of the Cold War. On this near-fateful day, a series of accidents nearly unleashed the Third World War. Senior figures in the Soviet Union had convinced themselves that they were about to come under nuclear attack from the West, and the vast Soviet nuclear arsenal of missiles, bombers and submarines were put on maximum alert, ready to launch a full nuclear retaliatory attack on Western Europe and the US. Armageddon beckoned. This documentary tells the dramatic story behind this sequence of events when Soviet fingers hovered perilously over the nuclear button. The intelligence communities in the US, Europe and the former USSR have never before admitted to the scale of this crisis.

I want to see this



This film is part of IDA's DocuWeeks '09.

Part city symphony, part visual poem, "The Solitary Life of Cranes" explores the invisible life of a city, its patterns and hidden secrets, seen through the eyes of crane drivers working high above its streets. What emerges is a lyrical mediation about how our existence is shaped through the environment we inhabit, both for the drivers high up in the sky and the people on the ground they are watching.

Steven Hawking has a doc. about aliens coming out in a week or two...should be interesting.

That Life doc. on Discovery was really good...although I'd much rather watch the british version. The U.S. version has Oprah narratting...God that was awful.
