Description: DARK CIRCLE reveals the full scope and human impact of the Atomic Age, from the dropping of the first nuclear bombs on Japan to the present day perils of the hydrogen bomb factories and nuclear power.
This updated version of the Emmy Award-winning film weaves dramatic personal stories of nuclear victims with previously classified footage of the secret world where nuclear bombs are tested and built. The link between nuclear power and nuclear proliferation is also explored.
Even with the end of the Cold War, DARK CIRCLE is as relevant as ever: nuclear weapons are still with us, nuclear power is re-emerging, and the capability to build atomic bombs is spreading to other countries.
