The Atomic Cafe (1982) is a unique and powerful documentary that explores the culture of fear and paranoia during the Cold War, specifically focusing on the U.S. government's response to the threat of nuclear war. Directed by Jayne Loader, Kevin Rafferty, and Pierce Rafferty, the film is composed entirely of archival footage from the 1940s to the 1960s, including government propaganda films, public service announcements, military training videos, and newsreels. The documentary uses these materials to depict the absurdity and dark humor surrounding nuclear weapons, civil defense drills, and the constant threat of atomic destruction.
