Although its depiction is probably dated in this era of smart bombs and murder by drone, this film, shown in one of my classes in college by a genius of a professor (we also read John Fowles' The Magus), this film will still move you and make realize the madness of war on any level.

Hello, I'm making a BBC film about this film - would really like to speak to you if possible

As a member of the local theatre club, I was asked to be an extra in this film and appeared as a burned corpse in many scenes. Watching it now still gives me chills and it has stood the test of time. A fine work by Peter Watkins, it was shelved after the first viewing in London, where I was a guest. The BBC thought it was too realistic and would scare people. I even have a signed letter from the director telling me the film has reviewed a good reception and he is hoping to see it aired on TV.
