Atomic: Living in Dread and Promise
The bombing of Hiroshima seventy years ago this month demonstrated the atomic bomb's horrific destructive potential. Mark Cousins' daring documentary examines not only death but also life in the nuclear age. The video shows us an impressionistic kaleidoscope of our nuclear times - protest marches, Cold War sabre-rattling, Chernobyl and Fukishima - but also the majestic beauty of the atomic world, and how x-rays and MRI scans have enhanced human lives. The nuclear age has been a horror, but also a dream.
