Manhattan Project In Colour on SBS and SBS on Demand – The Manhattan Project, the work of Robert Oppenheimer’s team, was a turning point in history – mankind had acquired the means of its own destruction.
Thousands of black and white photographs and hundreds of reels of film survive from those game-changing years. Now, in this unique documentary, which uses the latest technology to transform rarely seen images and restore, sharpen and repair priceless damaged film – the Manhattan Project comes to life.
The Manhattan Project in Colour focuses not on the fine detail of the science, but on the human stories and herculean effort needed to transform scrawled blackboard equations into a viable bomb.
It features eye-witness testimony from those who helped build the bombs, plus harrowing survivor interviews from those affected by the first nuclear test in New Mexico and the devastating bombing of Hiroshima. The Manhattan Project in Colour reveals just what it took to get to the finish line first.
