Atomic: Living in Dread and Promise
In August1945, the bombing of Hiroshima proved the deadly potential of the atomic bomb. Mark Cousins' documentary examines death and life in the atomic age. Using only archive video and a new musical score by Mogwai, the film portrays protest marches, Cold War saber-rattling, Chernobyl, and Fukishima, but also the stunning beauty of the atomic universe and how x-rays and MRI scans have enhanced human lives. Nuclear age was a nightmare and a dream.
