    Hey there,

    Here's one from left field...

    Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

    A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

    Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

    Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

    Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

    I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

    Help to raise awareness.

    Say have you checked out my web site recently?

    Take care and keep in touch.

    Best,
    Faber.
