Duck and Cover
"Duck and cover" is a public information film about what to do in case of a nuclear emergency. What do you think, is it propoganda or based on good science? You might want to watch this film if you are doing fallout shelters or nuclear bombs or number 6 for your option. Or watch it anyway. Its a gem.
