"Atomic Echoes" screening
"Atomic Echoes" screening
The National Atomic Testing Museum hosts a screening of the documentary “Atomic Echoes,” with an appearance from Congresswoman Dina Titus (who has written a book about atomic testing in Nevada) and a post-screening discussion exploring the lasting human impact of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.
Currently airing on PBS, “Atomic Echoes” brings forward the rarely combined narratives of both Japanese hibakusha and American atomic veterans. The film shares deeply personal accounts of trauma, resilience and humanity from those who lived through the bombings and their aftermath — voices from citizens of both nations, now in their later years, who may represent the final generation able to share first-hand testimony.
Doors open at 6 p.m. and the screening will begin at 7 p.m. There's a Q&A with the producers at 8 p.m.
