Following the production of one of the most controversial made-for-television movies in broadcast history, TELEVISION EVENT is a riveting blast from the past. The film captures the nationwide reaction to THE DAY AFTER, a 1983 ratings bonanza that probed the country’s mounting fear of a nuclear war. Archival footage and interviews take the viewer behind the scenes of a landmark film that drove public outcry for the U.S. government to address foreign nuclear threat.


Virtual screening window begins at 10am on Tuesday, October 12th and will be live for 48 hours.
