A proposito di questo titolo

Raymond Briggs’ When the Wind Blows (1986) is one of the bleakest animated films ever made. Behind its watercolor charm lies a devastating story about nuclear war, misplaced trust in government advice, and a generation shaped by the Blitz spirit. In this episode, we unpack the film’s cultural and historical weight: Britain’s civil defense failures, Cold War nuclear anxiety, and how nostalgia for WWII left ordinary people dangerously unprepared for a very different kind of conflict.
