The Day After Trinity


The Day After Trinity
presents a riveting profile of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the mysterious and charismatic father of the atomic bomb. It tells the gripping story of this brilliant physicist - a sensitive student of poetry, philosophy, and radical politics - and how he was recruited by our government to produce a new weapon against facist Germany. The film traces Oppenheimer's life from his childhood through his inspiring orchestration of the Manhattan Project to his last years of bitter disgrace. Interviews with articulate colleagues and their families are intercut with stills and previously unseen footage of the bomb and its aftermath. Superb, haunting, thoughtful, The Day After Trinity heightens awareness of the origins of the modern world. Producer Jon Elise is a MacArthur Fellow and received a five-year unrestricted grant for his outstanding work as a documentary filmmaker.
