Atomic Filmmakers, The: Behind the Scenes

This extraordinary documentary chronicles the top secret film studio that for over twenty years photographed over three hundred nuclear weapons tests. Their work is among the most spectacular ever captured on film. From the Nevada desert to remote Pacific atolls to outer space, they developed advanced techniques and methods to create their fantastic movies. They made 6,500 films and all were locked away as soon as they were watched by a handful of government officials. These filmmakers created a visual legacy that will be studied for years to come and will serve as an important reference for one of the most dangerous times in world history.
