Images from the film "threads"

"A glass milk bottle quickly melting beneath the intense thermal radiation of a nuclear blast, a young woman forced to dine on freshly killed mutton, a burned and scarred man joylessly playing a handheld video game in an attempt to escape the horror around him, a huddled group of youths watching a damaged educational videotape years after the collapse of civilization, looters being apprehended and subjected to firing squads. This is a film that forces you to reconsider the comforts of this world that you are probably taking for granted."
