This documentary offers a haunting journey through the dawn of the nuclear age, an incisive history of humanity's most dubious achievement and the man behind it - J. Robert Oppenheimer, the principal architect of the atomic bomb. Featuring archival footage and commentary from scientists and soldiers directly involved with the Manhattan Project, this gripping film is a fascinating look at the scope and power of the Nuclear Age.
A penetrating analysis on the nature of scientific inquiry, the McCarthy era, and nuclear proliferation, it recounts the creation of the Los Alamos colony, a New Mexico site named "Trinity" by Oppenheimer from a poem by William Blake.
Oppenheimer became the first of a long line of antinuclear activists and scientists to
protest nuclear weapons and nuclear power. He declared in an interview late in life that international arms-control negotiations started far too late, they should have started "the day after Trinity."
