''The Bomb'' is a 2015 American documentary film about the history of nuclear weapons, from theoretical scientific considerations at the very beginning, to their first use on August 6, 1945,〔(re William L. Laurence, Pulitzer prize-winning science journalist for the ''New York Times'')〕 to their global political implications in the present-day.〔 http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/pbs-special-bomb-seeks-story-atomic-weapons-32720033〕 The two-hour PBS film was written and directed by Rushmore DeNooyer, who noted the project took a year and a half to complete, since much of the film footage and images was only recently declassified by the United States Department of Defense.〔 According to DeNooyer, “It wouldn’t take very many bombs to really change life on Earth, ... The idea that there are thousands of them sitting around is pretty scary. I don’t think people today realize that. They don’t think about it. I don’t think they are scared. But in a way, they should be.”〔 Mark Dawidziak, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, summarized the film as follows: "'The Bomb' moves swiftly to cover Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Cold War, the arms race, the Red Scare, the witch hunt, the Cuban Missile Crisis, test-ban treaties, the "Star Wars" initiative, the anti-nuke movement, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of new nuclear threats." According to historian Richard Rhodes, “The invention ('The Bomb' ) was a millennial change in human history: for the first time, we were now capable of our own destruction, as a species.”〔 ==Participants== The documentary film is narrated by Jonathan Adams and includes the following participants (alphabetized by last name): * Jonathan Adams (narrator) * John Andersen (former Nuclear Weapons Engineer) * Hal Behl (aeronautical engineer; Manhattan Project)〔 * Walter J.
