Atomic: Living in Dread and Promise
In this month 70 years ago, the bombing of Hiroshima demonstrated the horrific destructive potential of the atomic bomb. Mark Cousins's daring documentary examines death and life in the atomic age. The film presents an impressionistic kaleidoscope of our nuclear times, including protest marches, Cold War saber-rattling, Chernobyl, and Fukishima, as well as the exquisite beauty of the atomic world and how x-rays and MRI scans have improved human life. The nuclear age has been both a horror and a dream.
