Short Vision, A (1956) A Short Vision became one of the most influential British animated films ever made when it was screened on US television as part of the popular Ed Sullivan Show. Although children were advised to leave the room while it played, it still caused outrage and alarm with its graphic representation of the horrors of nuclear war. But it also caught the mood of the times, since the mid-1950s was the height of both the Cold War and nuclear paranoia, as depicted (sometimes allegorically) in such American films as Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957). That said, there is no explicit reference to atomic warfare in A Short Vision. The narration is calculatedly allegorical, even quasi-Biblical, talking about a mysterious "it" appearing in the sky, terrifying animals but ignored by most humans. Thirty years later, nuclear holocaust would form the basis of When The Wind Blows (d. Michael Brooke

U.S. film tells story of Japanese boat exposed to 1954 nuclear test For many Americans, the story of the Japanese fishing crew that was exposed to a U.S. hydrogen bomb test in the Pacific Ocean 65 years ago may be a footnote in history easy to overlook. But Keith Reimink, a 40-year-old American documentary filmmaker, reacted differently when, in 2014, he came across a tiny paragraph mentioning the incident in a nearly 500-page book criticizing the U.S. management of nuclear weapons. Little was mentioned except for the fact that the 23 Japanese men aboard the tuna fishing vessel Fukuryu Maru No. 5 suffered radiation poisoning and that one of them died. But the Pittsburgh-based movie director was intrigued, and by the end of the year, his group was already in Japan to film interviews with three of the former fishermen. “The vast majority of Americans have not heard about any suffering related to nuclear tests after World War II ended. Three former Fukuryu Maru members recall in the film the moment of the blast that forever changed their lives. It did.

Target Nevada (film) 1951 instructional documentary film by the United Stares Air Force Target Nevada established that throughout the early history and development of nuclear weapons, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory began nuclear weapons testing. Two locations were used, the Pacific Proving Grounds in the Marshall Islands and the Nevada Test Site which ultimately was chosen as the optimal site for reasons of logistics and cost effectiveness. In the period from 1949–1951, out of the 20 atom bomb tests that were conducted, 14 were via "air drop" by USAF aircraft. The USAF Special Weapons Command led by Major General John S. In preparation for each mission, weather reports are carefully analyzed in order to ensure that the nuclear test will not affect commercial air lanes when the "mushroom cloud" is released. The USAF also conducts experiments including volunteer flight surgeons evaluating eyewear that will effectively block the brilliant atomic flare. "Buster-Jangle Dog", c. 1951

Le référendum du 28 octobre 1962 Proposé par Institut national de l’audiovisuel Date de diffusion : 31 oct. 1962 | Date d'évènement : 28 oct. 1962 Contexte historique Le 12 septembre 1962, le général de Gaulle, profitant de l'émotion suscitée par l'attentat du Petit-Clamart, annonce en conseil des ministres une réforme de la Constitution sur un point capital : l'élection du président de la République au suffrage universel direct. Cette proposition est vécue comme un affront par les partis politiques qui y voient une tentative de renforcement du pouvoir présidentiel par rapport au pouvoir parlementaire et qui n'acceptent pas la procédure choisie : ce n'est pas le Parlement réuni en congrès qui doit modifier la Constitution, mais les citoyens français, par la consultation référendaire.

Duck and Cover (film) The film was funded by the US Federal Civil Defense Administration and released in January 1952. At the time, the Soviet Union was engaged in nuclear testing and the US was in the midst of the Korean War. The film starts with an animated sequence, showing an anthropomorphic turtle walking down a road, while picking up a flower and smelling it. A chorus sings the Duck and Cover theme: There was a turtle by the name of Bert and Bert the turtle was very alert; when danger threatened him he never got hurt he knew just what to do ... The significant scene before Bert ducks and covers. Under the theme, Bert is shown being attacked by a monkey holding a lit firecracker or stick of dynamite on the end of a string. The last scene of the film returns to animation in which Bert the Turtle (voiced by Carl Ritchie) summarily asks what everybody should do in the event of an atomic bomb flash and is given the correct answer by a group of unseen children.
