ATOMIC COVER-UP - 25/8 KL. 18:00

Atomic Cover-up. Regi: Greg Mitchell. USA 2021. English language, no subtitles. 52 min.

The film won the Best Documentary Feature Award of the International Uranium Film Festival 2021. Along with numerous awards at film festivals around the world.

The widely-acclaimed 2021 film Atomic Cover-up is the first documentary to explore the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 from the unique perspective, words and startling images of the brave cameramen and directors who risked their lives filming in the irradiated aftermath. It reveals how this historic footage, created by a Japanese newsreel crew and then an elite U.S. Army team (who shot the only color reels), was seized, classified top secret, and then buried by American officials for decades to hide the full human costs of the bombings as a dangerous nuclear arms race raged.

“Greg Mitchell has done a great service to history in uncovering some of the most remarkable — and supremely sad — video journalism of the 20th Century. More than a movie, a legitimate historical document of almost unspeakable acts of war.” — Charles P. Pierce, Esquire magazine.

There will be a Q&A after the film in English.
