Poets against the Bomb (1981) | BFI National Archive

Fa parte degli Orphan Works del British Film Institute
Durata: 25 min.
The power of words and language should never be underestimated. As peaceful protests go| the evening of poetry organised by the local CND branch at Chelsea Town Hall on 15 April 1981 seems both civilised and moving. Poetry proves a great medium to communicate the anger| fears| questions and absurdities that arise under the threatening shadow of mass destruction. Among the performers are Ivor Cutler| Adrian Henri| Ruth Fainlight and Harold Pinter. This video is part of the Orphan Works collection.
