White Light/Black Rain, made with a Japanese-U.S. production team, is a deeply moving look at the unprecedented destruction caused by the August, 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It interweaves interviews with thirteen of the survivors and four Americans on the planes that dropped the bombs with newsreel clips, survivors' paintings of the firestorm, and archival footage of the aftermath. The New York Times called it “focused” and “powerful.” The Day After Trinity is a haunting journey through the dawn of the Nuclear Age, an incisive history of the Manhattan Project and the man behind it, J Robert Oppenheimer, the principal architect of the atomic bomb. Discussion will cover the film, the moral and political implications of the use of nuclear weapons and new opportunities for controlling nuclear weapons coming up in the near future. The films and exhibition are co-sponsored by the Greenwich Forum on War and Peace and Peace Action. Reservations are appreciated. Please e-mail Jane Milliken at jem@igc.org or call 637-7723.
