To ‘celebrate’ Donald Trump’s inauguration on Friday 20th January we’re screening THE DAY AFTER, a graphic and disturbing film about the effects of a nuclear holocaust. Watched by more than 100 million people during its initial broadcast, it is the highest-rated television film in history.

The film will be preceded by a talk from Dr Daniel Cordle, Reader in English and American Literature at Nottingham Trent University, who will discuss the upsurge in nuclear anxieties in the 1980s that produced the film and outline its contribution to the genre of post-nuclear fiction and film.
