THE CUBAN CRISIS (THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS)

Clashing over the construction of missile bases in Cuba, tension between the US and Soviet governments almost culminates in nuclear war. Co-production with the BBC.

Cold War protest. Footage of an advertising aircraft flying over Rice University's Rice Stadium, Houston, Texas, USA, on 12 September 1962. The wording of the banner is 'Enforce the Monroe Doctrine', referring to a US anti-colonisation policy originating from the 19th century. At the time, President Kennedy had cited the Monroe Doctrine in relation to the developing Cuban Missile Crisis that came to a head the following month (October 1962). This footage was obtained during the visit by US President John F. Kennedy, who made a famous speech ('We choose to go to the Moon') at this stadium. This speech, and his earlier pledge of 1961, set the USA in direct competition with its Cold War rival the USSR, in what was known as the Space Race.

Released in 1964 by the Department of Defense and the Office of Civil Defense, ONE WEEK IN OCTOBER tells the gripping story of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The events of that week are vividly re-created through original American reconnaissance plane footage and extensive tension-packed scenes of the faces and voices of the key figures involved: President John F. Kennedy, Robert McNamara, Dean Rusk and Adlai Stevenson. Yet "One Week in October" had a message to promote, beyond merely re-telling the events of that fateful week — promoting fallout shelters and the National Fallout Shelter System. The film's postscript (28:30) is all about "shelter space" and how "fallout protection" would be vital "to our national survival", and that while progress has been made in this area "more work must be done". <p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
