RESISTANCE CINEMA presents “THE DAY AFTER TRINITY”, Produced by John Else, 1981, 88 minutes.

Jon Else's documentary, The Day After Trinity, is about the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, a genius who helped develop the atomic bomb and whose life ended in criticism by Joseph McCarthy.

Scientists and witnesses involved in the creation and testing of the first ever atomic bomb reflect on the Manhattan project and its fascinating leader, Oppenheimer, who upon completion of his wonderful and horrible invention became a powerful spokesperson against the nuclear arms race. The film also documents the establishment of Los Alamos and the length of time that led up to the Trinity test along with interviews of the people who worked with Oppenheimer. Made in 1981 It still may be the best documentary about nuclear weapons and highly recommended to those who would like to know more about the people who assisted on the world's most dangerous weapon.

The Living Theatre will present a free reading of "Enola Gay", an award-winning play by Australian playwright David Blackman. The play incorporates official government memos and transcripts into the dramatization of the events leading up to the bombing of Hiroshima in August, 1945
