Eighty years ago, the U.S. government sought to deceive the public about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, downplaying the effects of the atomic bombs and even claiming radiation sickness was a “very pleasant way to die.” We will be screening the new PBS documentary BOMBSHELL, which tells the story of the intrepid reporters who struggled to unearth the truth.
Join us after the screening for a panel discussion with filmmakers Ben Loeterman and Gaia De Simoni, alongside Princeton historian Michael Gordin and journalist Razia Iqbal.
