When the Wind Blows

James and Hilda are an elderly English couple who survive the nuclear horror of war, believing everything will be fine as long as they follow the government's instructions. Raymond Briggs adapts his own graphic novel in this devastating animated film that uses the tenderness of its protagonists to expose the absurd brutality of nuclear war. A unique anti-militarist statement in the history of animation: sweet and utterly terrifying.

The most disturbing animated film ever made. A ruthless examination of innocence and nuclear death. Heartbreaking.
