Atomic: Living in Dread and Promise
This month marks 70 years since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Mark Cousins' documentary explores 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 sabre-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 is a nightmare and a dream.
