Why and how have we been retelling the
Manhattan Project story for more than 75 years?
This film series, curated by Los Alamos historian Aimee Slaughter, explores how the Manhattan Project has been captured on film, by many people and in many places: in historic footage, in documentaries, in Hollywood blockbusters, and more. Whose stories have (or haven’t) been told on the big screen? People have been making and watching films about the Project for more than 75 years—why is the Manhattan Project story one that we keep retelling?
