Last weekend, I watched Survivors: The Spectre of Threads at the Showroom Cinema, Sheffield, the world premiere documentary at Sheffield Film Festival. The film delves into the making of the 1984 docudrama Threads, a harrowing depiction of nuclear devastation in Sheffield that left an indelible mark on generations.
Through intimate interviews and emotional recollections from cast, crew, and local extras, some of whom were never fully prepared for the psychological toll of what they’d helped portray, the documentary highlighted the trauma caused by the original docudrama. One person featured in the doc, an extra in Threads, went on to become a doomsday prepper, building their own bunker, making the case for personal resilience in the face of catastrophe.
