Was it a Frankie Goes to Hollywood one, Ultravox’s Dancing with Tears in My Eyes, something else entirely or a public information film.
We are trying to explain to the kids that our concern in the late 70’s/80’s was the cold war and nuclear threats.
It was a Bowie video. Don’t know which one though.

Don’t think it was the raunchy China Girl one! Though that might be apt - can remember getting up to watch the uncensored version on Channel 4 as a teenager.
Bizarre. Trying various FGTH mixes and found a Fruitness Mix of Welcome to the Pleasuredome. Mrs AC immediately identified the narrator as the chap from Butterflies, I said ‘no way, Geofrey Palmer doesn’t sound like that’, how wrong I was!
was it “Games Without Frontiers” ?
while on subject, always loved this album
on vinyl, of course :/)

I think the OP is thinking of the sequence that ends the film ‘The Mist’ which features a very powerful track called The Host of Seraphim by Dead Can Dance and a very post apocalyptic scene of decimation.
You can find it on Yotube if you do a search for ‘The Mist ending” or final scene.

Not your video but if you are still trying to convey the mood of the time to your kids, I reckon you could do worse than Edge of Darkness.
