american experience

Eighty years after the devastating atomic bombings that ushered in the nuclear age, Bombshell explores how the U.S. government sought to manipulate the truth about the bombings of Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. Through propaganda, censorship and the co-opting of the press, the government presented a benevolent picture of atomic power, minimizing the horrific human toll of the bombings. Bombshell sheds light on the efforts of a group of intrepid reporters to let the world know the truth.
