[S]eared a black furrow across my soul as a teen that has never healed... it still plagues the dim recesses of my imagination.

In this VERY graphic dramatisation of a city during the lead up to nuclear war and the following fall-out, we're shown that things would be completely horrible. Got to ask...did anyone think it would be sunshine, peaches and ice-cream all round?
