Peter Watkins has made some pretty amazing films over the years. The War 
Game (about the effects of a nuclear war) was commissioned by the BBC in 
1964/5. Then they refused to show it - too scary.

His website has disappeared but there is this

"This Canada-based Web site, in two parts, contains the text of Peter 
Watkins' latest critical media statement [Aug 2003], along with detailed 
information regarding each of PW's films and their current availability."
