The War Game
After the banning of "The War Game" and the poor reception of his first non-television feature, "Privilege", Watkins left England and has made all of his subsequent films abroad: "The Gladiators" in Sweden, "Punishment Park" in the United States, "Edvard Munch" in Norway, "Resan" (a 14-hour film cycle about the threat of nuclear war) in ten different countries, and "La Commune" in France. "Freethinker: The Life and Work of Peter Watkins", is a forthcoming biography by Patrick Murphy, a Senior Lecturer in Film and Television at York St John University and Dr John Cook. It is being compiled with Watkins' active help and participation.
