"Atomic Cover-Up"

“When I was in college, I got my first look at a film that showed bodies being bulldozed into a large pit at Auschwitz. That imagery haunts me to this day as will what I saw just now in Atomic Coverup. It’s a devastating and necessary film, and a stark and humbling refresher course in why atomic weapons must never be used again.” — Wally Lamb, author of bestsellers I Know This Much is True, She’s Come Undone and others.

A sobering journey taking us back to the first uses of atomic weapons in warfare. Director Greg Mitchell has assembled extensive archival footage captured on celluloid by both U.S. and Japanese cinematographers just days following bombs being dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of 1945. This is a tale of those filmmaker’s diligence, as well as a United States government that kept the fuller vision of the human devastation of those bombings hidden from the public for a quarter century. Atomic Cover-Up brings one face to face with the many civilian casualties and other victims of those weapons of mass destruction. Images that in full have been rarely encountered rightly convey the profoundly horrific impacts on human life, alongside an appropriate restraint that refrains from cluttering the documentary with an excess of secondary scholarly or professional analysis (e.g., did the bombs need to be dropped in order for Japan to surrender?). Important analytical topics are raised along these lines, without question, but are fortunately spared any excess of expert talking heads posting their opinions. Points of view are evident, but the central emphasis here is on impacts more so than interpretation. And if ever there was a testament to the failings of expert culture, the results we see in this film speak eloquently to that.

Presaging the increasingly ubiquitous presence of cameras we have grown to accept, instantaneously capturing professional and citizen photojournalism from any number of conflicts and world events, this chronicle of filmmakers at Nagasaki and Hiroshima represents a crucial contribution to the historical record of one of most pivotal moments in modern warfare. A moving original score by London based composer, Charlie Seaborn, also deserves mention. With a core running time conducive to classroom screenings, Atomic Cover-Up is essential viewing for faculty and students exploring World War II, military journalism, atomic weapons, Asian studies, and civilian casualties of war. Some students of film studies and filmmaking may also be attracted to this title.

Oppenheimer as a Jew smoldered with resentment at the treatment his fellow Jews were receiving at the hands of the Nazis. The Jews were being murdered and cremated as Oppenheimer worked on the A-bomb that eventually resulted in the instantaneous incineration of thousands of Japanese civilians.

Yes, nuclear fusion is a great scientific achievement.

Killing a quarter million civilians with a nuclear explosion, not so much.

A Jew surviving the Holocaust should not be working near the oven that cooks the flesh off Asians.

That's mime's 2 cents.

Not being a rocket scientist, naturally I meant FISSION, not fusion.
