'The Bomb' (2015) provides a historical account of the humanity's most destructive weapons i.e. nuclear bombs starting in the 1930s up to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, and comments in short on the current global situation.
It will prove quite informative especially for the young generations who have not lived through any major nuclear crises. One can see in hindsight the steps humanity took in weaponising a scientific discovery leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands at the hands of such devices.
However, I did not like the impartial and supremacist comments; one such example from the documentary is a person saying that the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki paid for their sins. Deaths of thousands of citizens, including women and children, appear to be justified from the filmmakers viewpoint. The recklessness in radiation protection, especially while conducting the Hydrogen Bomb tests is also quickly skimmed over. It's hypocritical to comment on the chances and the consequences of other nations using nuclear weapons, even though United States remains the only nation to have done so.
Nevertheless, The Bomb provides a very good collection of media to go with the events from the pages of history and so I recommend watching it but... reread the title.
