    There’s an amazing film made by a man named Kevin Brownlow when he was just a teenager. He made it on weekends over years. It’s called It Happened Here. Besides being a really amazing piece of cinema, it gives a believable view of what it would have been like if the Nazis had won WWII and taken over Britain. Everyone just gets on with their lives and acts like nothing has changed.

    That movie just keeps rattling around in my head and has been since the election.
