that in the present state of
international tension,

3
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,680
you should be told
how best to protect yourselves

4
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,400
from the dangerous effects
of nuclear attack.

5
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,160
If this tension should lead to war,

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,560
it is essential that you shall have
taken every possible precaution

7
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,880
to safeguard your family,
yourself and your home.

8
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,040
This film will show
what are the dangers to expect

9
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,680
and the best means of protection.

From the beginning of 1945,

21
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,720
the whole of Japan
was within the bombing range

22
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,600
of the United States Strategic
Air Force, based in the Marianas.

23
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,320
The people seem to us quaint,
a little amusing,

24
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,120
with their polite formalities.

Humility...

28
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,240
and arrogance.

29
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,000
A taste for the delicate...

30
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,240
and the gross.

31
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,560
The real Japan,
the aggressor we fought to destroy,

32
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,840
was based on the creed
of blind obedience to the state.

33
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,160
It's not difficult to create
a race of puppets

34
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,720
if you start on them young
and never let up.

35
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,440
Taught that death in battle
is the greatest glory.

36
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,920
Mr President,
why did you drop the atom bomb?

37
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,560
Three weeks after the first
experimental blast,

38
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,240
an atomic bomb was dropped
on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.

39
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,760
Only two minutes to go.

40
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,280
The standby signal to all hands.

41
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,560
Those neutrons bombard
other uranium atoms,

42
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:45,920
causing them to split,
and split still others.

43
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,400
The result?

44
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,640
A chain reaction.
EXPLOSION

45
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,480
Over a million billion billion
atoms exploding within two seconds.

two...one.

50
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,040
We stood for a minute in silence,

51
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,280
as we used to stand
on Armistice Day.

53
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,840
We look at the world...

00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,200
and we see madness.

55
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:38,240
Today, we live under the threat
of nuclear weapons

56
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,800
with a destructive power
1,000 times greater

57
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,760
than those exploded
at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

58
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,640
What IS the American way of life?

59
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,120
Or the British way of life,
or the Russian way of life?

60
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:59,360
The fact of the matter is, it isn't
a darn thing if we do not have life.

61
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,840
I feel that if we really
are interested in the future

62
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,280
of our children,
this is the smallest thing we can do,

63
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,440
to join this procession, in our small
way, to ensure their future.

65
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,920
I did this march
in the lockout in 1926.

66
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,200
We slept on the Corn Exchange
floor at Reading

67
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,640
and we had sausage
and mash in Maidenhead Workhouse,

68
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,240
supplied by the
Co-operative Society.

69
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,600
I was very proud of that march,

70
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,200
but I'd be frightfully
ashamed of myself

71
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,920
if I had not come on this march.

72
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,800
I would never be able to look
the children in the face

73
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,480
if I had not come on this march.

74
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,160
It isn't much, but it's all
I can do, and it's my best,

75
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,080
and if everybody else did their
best, the children of the future

76
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,200
would be saved from the atom
and hydrogen bomb.

77
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,520
Tension continues to mount
in the world situation.

78
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,640
Nevertheless,
the Government has just announced

79
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,920
that its negotiations
are continuing.

80
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,280
There were fresh reports
today of an unidentified submarine

81
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,200
shadowing units
of the United States fleet

82
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,800
at present carrying out
manoeuvres in the Far East.

83
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,760
Now, here's an important
announcement.

84
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,640
The Government has decided
to call up

85
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,400
all members of the Civil Defence
Corps

86
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,120
to report to their headquarters.

87
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,520
How on earth are we all going
to stay in one little room

88
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,600
for days and nights on end?

89
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,320
We'd all end up in the madhouse!

90
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,040
Better there than the mortuary,
Mrs Richards.

91
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,400
The Government has decided

92
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,640
that in the present
state of international tension,

93
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,560
you should be told how best to
protect yourselves

94
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,280
from the dangerous effects
of nuclear attack.

The betterment of world peace,
you know?

170
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,440

first children whose cancer cells

346
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:35,120
'are trapped by a magnet.'

347
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,760
The only reason we took her to the
doctor originally

348
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,320
was because she was getting a lot of
colds

349
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:44,440
and the doctor suspected there was
something more than that wrong with
her.

350
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,240
After our initial visit to our
local hospital,

351
00:56:47,240 --> 00:56:49,480
we were told not to worry.

352
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:53,200
They thought Elizabeth was
a near miss for a certain syndrome.

353
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,840
And then I heard a radio programme
and, as the programme progressed,

354
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,800
I realised that all the symptoms
that they were talking about

355
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:01,760
were present in Elizabeth...

356
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:03,760
and developing.

357
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,720
And it was then that I realised what
it was that she had.

358
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:23,800
'As Christopher's marrow flows
through the tube,

359
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:25,880

360
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,160
'are pulled down to the magnets and
held fast.'

361
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,280
Hello, Chris. Can you hear me?

362
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,480
Yes. Are you feeling sleepy?

363

366
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:58,600

367

368
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,680

that it might happen.

369
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:05,960
You know you've been warned of it,
but ...

370
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:09,480
..when it does happen, it's...

371
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,960
..quite a shock. It wasn't expected.

372
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:14,880
But...

373
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:18,720
I think...you know,

374
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,800
looking back on it,

375
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:22,280
at least we gave her a chance.

376
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,960
Otherwise, you know, she would have
had no chance at all.

377
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:28,320
She was going to die anyway.

378
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:31,920
And...

379
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,160
we gave her a chance.

380
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,600
She's been spared an awful lot
of suffering.

381
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,280
We have to be grateful for that.
