Films & Shows Set during the Years of Lead

2 titles · in the order the archive depicts them. A series counts once, regardless of however many of its episodes carry the tag. 1 title here is filed under a year outside the boundaries but depicts years inside them; the density below reads filed years only, so it leaves it out.

Also on the Timeline

Part of and part of it are declared by the archive: one period counted as belonging to another, whatever their dates. Periods overlap freely so concurrent means the two spans share years, and the shared stretch is named. Bounded means it lies wholly inside this one, beginning and ending more than 10 years within its boundaries. Before and after are the nearest periods lying outside this one, with the gap in years shown instead. A shared thread is what the two have in common besides the calendar, and a period lying wholly outside this one can still share one.
