MOM ! I HAD A NIGHTMARE ! by Aeforias Dad

The 1983 movie about a nuclear winter titled The Days After, has haunted me for as long as I can remember. I was thirteen years old when I first saw it, and I can remember with vivid imagery certain scenes in the movie. The fear of nuclear war has faded over time, but recent international tensions have rekindled this fear; which feels more real and more possible as the days go by.   Lazarus - The Day After depicts the unshakable adaptability and resilience that we humans can possess as we try to balance between despair and hope for a better future.    About the 1983 movie - The Day After In the mid-1980s, the U.S. was poised on the brink of nuclear war. This shadow looms over the residents of a small town in Kansas as they continue their daily lives. Dr. Russell Oakes (Jason Robards) maintains his busy schedule at the hospital, Denise Dahlberg prepares for her upcoming wedding, and Stephen Klein (Steve Guttenberg) is deep in his graduate studies. When the unthinkable happens and the bombs come down, the town"s residents are thrust into the horrors of nuclear winter.
