This mock documentary assembles archival footage, out‑of‑context and staged interviews to dramatize a possible slide toward nuclear conflict. It portrays rising tension in East Germany, an uprising sparked by Gorbachev’s visit, and a successful military coup in the USSR. Western interventions against brutal crack‑downs on civilians heighten the rivalry, ultimately culminating in nuclear war.
