Synopsis
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".
