ORIGINAL CHILD BOMB is an hour long mixed-media documentary about the human cost of nuclear weapons. The film is built around seldom-seen archival footage of the nuclear devastation at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as early nuclear tests including Trinity. The title refers to a poem by Thomas Merton, the pioneering mystic, monk, activist and author. With music by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Mos Def. This is no ordinary historical documentary. The cast features a Japanese rapper and New York high school students, making the material accessible to teenagers as well as adults. The audience is invited to reconsider what they have been taught about nuclear weapons and what think they know. Japanese survivors give searing testimony. A fake "Bunker Buster" ad satirizes the military industrial complex. An American girl tries to get her head around the logic of mutually assured destruction. #oppenheimer #ryuichisakamoto ...more
