For anyone interested in this subject / genre I recommend "The War Game" by Peter Watkins [1]
Also by Peter Watkins, "The Journey" (aka "Resan") [2]. Quite long, that one.
Threads is one of relatively few films I have ever been inclined to re-watch. In fact, I watched it soon after the first covid lockdown started, followed by bingeing on "I Shouldn't be Alive". Quite curious about the psychology behind those viewing choices!!

He tells the story of his ordeal in an article in the NZ Herald in 2006:

It was also made into an episode of "I shouldn't be alive".
A great classic story of survival. I can't get enough of these. Makes me glad to have the life that I do. No matter what silly hardships I think I have, I can just be glad I never had to deal with a horrific situation like this.
I recommend checking out the series "I Shouldn't Be Alive". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Shouldnt_Be_Alive
Looking through the episode list, I'm surprised that Juliane's story isn't in there.
