SarahW Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 We just finished reading Kensuke's Kingdom, and we're in the middle of The Elements. So I thought now would be a good time to watch something about how they intersect. But there's apparently a gazillion documentaries about the Manhattan Project and nuclear war. I would like something that spends more than a few seconds on the science of atomic bombs and Hiroshima/Nagasaki. Ethics would be gravy, but I don't need lengthy discussions about the Cold War or the Cuban Missile Crisis or etc. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopmom Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Not a documentary, but I really enjoyed the young adult book The Bomb. The Ken Burns mini series on WWII may have one section that focuses more closely on H- N, but I can't remember for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosika Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 We watched one several years ago with my older son. It was a partially fictionalized documentary called Hiroshima. There are two, it was the older one (1990s release). I have this one written down to watch with my current student when we cycle back around to the Modern Era. It's supposed to be really good: White Light Black Rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
