Merry Christmas 2012

500 (Internal Server) Error - We've happened upon a bit of a problem... The ultimate film about weapons of mass destruction On July 16, 1945, at a site called Trinity, a plutonium bomb was assembled and brought to the top of a tower. The bomb was detonated, producing an intense flash and a fireball that expanded to 600 meters in two seconds. The explosive power was equivalent to 20 kilotons of TNT. It grew to a height of more than 12 kilometers, boiling up in the shape of a mushroom. "Trinity and Beyond" is an unsettling yet visually fascinating documentary presenting the history of the design, development, production and testing of nuclear weapons between 1945 until 1963. Director/producer Peter Kuran (who spoke with Molly Bentley for NPR radio), traveled throughout the U.S. to locate footage that includes bombs being suspended by balloon, exploding under the ocean, being shot from a cannon and detonated in outer space. Trinity & Beyond features an original score performed by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra and an interview with Dr. © VCEinc.
