THE WAR GAME & CULLODEN
Peter Watkins' first two
professional films, both made for the BBC, are both
ground-breaking docu-dramas. CULLODEN re-creates the 1746
battle fought between the Scottish Highlanders and the English army,
while the Oscar-winning THE WAR GAME disturbingly visualises the
physical and social effect of limited nuclear warfare.:
