The original "director's cut" of this classic 1981 music video. This version of the video is not present on the 2003 "Very Best of the Human League" DVD, which instead features an alternate edit (removing scenes depicting the gun).
The censored edit seems to have become the canonical version of this video, unfortunately. Why it was the victim of such heavy-handed expurgation is unknown to me. I remember reading somewhere that the edits were requested (or demanded) by the BBC, but this is anecdotal information of limited value.
(Directed by Steve Barron. Transferred from the 1983 Human League "Video Single" VHS tape, and resynchronized with CD-quality audio.)
