This black-and-white educational film titled “Atomic Power!” from 1946 shows the history of the Atomic Age and the Manhattan Project, beginning with the dropping of the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It then goes on to describe the atom and the race to build the atomic bomb during WWII using (somewhat clunky) re-enactments. The film features many accredited scientists including Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer.
