I Am Become Death

Synopsis

Looks at the people who worked on the Manhattan Project, developing the first atomic bomb at Los Alamos, New Mexico, between 1943-1945: Bob Wilson, Bob Serber, Bon Christy, Harold Agnew, Hans Bethe, Stan Ulam, Enrico Fermi and Edward Teller and the project leader Robert Oppenheimer, who named the first bomb ‘Trinity’. Deals with their life and work at Los Alamos, their contradictions and jealousies, and how each in his own way came to terms with the bomb and its fearsome consequences.
