Everything is Going Berserk (original tape)

Unedited rushes from "Everything is Going Berserk", featuring Lynn Barnett talking to a group of 5 to 9 year olds about nuclear weapons and the possibility of nuclear war. The children are asked to draw pictures to illustrate their ideas about these issues which they then talk about. Further discussion ensues about global conflict and nuclear power, including the Chernobyl incident. The children are then encouraged to draw a picture together while imagining they are representatives from different countries, and to talk about the difficulties of global cooperation between countries. At the end of the video the parents of some of the children are brought together to talk about their attitudes to nuclear weapons and the threat of global conflict, and how they talk about these issues with their children at home. The video ends abruptly. See SA/MED/N/35a for a digitised copy of this recording, and SA/MED/N/38 for the final edited version.
