"The two atomic bombs exploded on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended World War II."
This is not true.
"The bomb that destroyed Nagasaki was the last nuclear detonation that ever killed people."
This is not true.
"Since 1945 atomic bombs have guaranteed world peace."
This is not true.
"In the Cold War there were no battlefields nor victims."
This is not true.
For the 80th anniversary in 2025 of the Atomic Bomb and the Cold War, this film will retell history as it has never been told before.
War is back in Europe - but are we really experiencing "the return of the Cold War" or a rather different beast that points to much a more unstable world order?
Russia wages a war of aggression against Ukraine and threatens to use nuclear weapons against NATO. Iran's atomic bomb program is almost completed and could destabilize the entire Middle East. The United States spend trillions of Dollars on the modernization of their nuclear arsenal. The world is on the brink yet again.
Once again, filmmakers Dirk van den Berg and Pascal Verroust will look at history to decipher our present. They will debunk the narratives of atomic weapons and nuclear deterrence and reveal the human cost of a SILENT WAR with more than 2000 nuclear explosions and millions of victims world-wide.
This film is based on the groundbreaking research by nuclear historian Robert "Bo"Jacobs for his book "Nuclear Bodies", critically acclaimed as one of the most important contributions to nuclear history.
