A new film shining a spotlight on how traumatic world events - such as the outbreak of war - can have a major impact on people's mental health, is set to be released this month as part of a collaboration between a University of Sheffield historian and an award-winning filmmaker.
The film, called The Nervous State, tells the real life story of how one British couple's marriage tragically fell apart under the psychological stress of fear of war breaking out across Europe during the Munich Crisis of 1938 - 86 years ago this month (30 September).
The crisis saw British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain sign the Four Powers Pact with Hitler in an act of appeasement designed to prevent the outbreak of the Second World War. The agreement allowed Nazi Germany to annex parts of Czechoslovakia, granting all of his demands and leaving Czechoslovakia defenceless.
