CANADIAN CIVIL DEFENSE ATOMIC BOMB CARTOON MOVIE "THE HOMELESS ONES" 28202

Created in 1954 by Canada's Department of National Health and Welfare, "The Homeless Ones" is a terribly grim cartoon that tells the story of an atomic attack on a Canadian center of population and the untold death and destruction it would leave in its wake. This film, directed primarily at civil defense welfare workers, illustrates how such a disaster could be alleviated by people organized, trained and prepared for such an eventuality. Drawn by Sidney Goldsmith, who created many non-fiction and educational cartoons for the National Film Board in a career that lasted from the 1940s through the 1980s.

Funny how it doesn't at all take into account the aftermath radiation of nuclear attacks, making all these workers go to their certain death.

Great artwork!

I am especially impressed with how ridiculously optimistic this film is. It discusses organization and order like those would be real things after a nuclear attack. How do I know these things AREN'T real? I was at *THE* Who concert. You know the one. I've also worked retail on Black Friday and personally witnessed people grab anything that fell to hand to beat each other with over a damned cell phone that was on sale. We can't be civil to one another when it comes to a seat at a concert or a sale at Walmart. How in the hell would we ever stay calm and organized in the aftermath of a mushroom cloud?

watch some docs about British civilians during the air raids of ww2... some folks actually do help their fellow citizens in a time of crisis

Very interesting film. Much more grim and realistic than any American film I have seen. The film begins to show the scope of relief that would be required if such destruction occurred.

They did a good job planning things out.
I bet know one, but us, knows this stuff now.

Way back when the government actually gave the illusion that they cared about the people.

Civil defense experts will be on hand to decide who dies by cannibalism, exposure, or starvation.

This artwork looks like something an AI would produce today.

What? No Terrance and Phillip?

I wonder if anyone has released anything feature length that uses detailed artwork as the primary style.
