Oppenheimer - A Campaigner’s Perspective
Christopher Nolan's new film Oppenheimer is described as an "epic biographical thriller". It tells the story of the physicist appointed to lead the work on the Top Secret Manhattan Project - creating the atomic bomb, used to such devastating effect against the people of Japan in 1945. Bill Ramsay, a lifelong anti-nuclear campaigner asked if we would like to join him and fellow campaigner Isobel Lindsay to have a discussion about the film, the complex moral issues raised at the time and the impacts still felt today as the nuclear arms war continues to escalate. The result was a fairly wide ranging and very interesting discussion. If you would like to watch the video version of this podcast you will find it on our Youtube channel. We would love to hear what you thought of the movie so drop your reactions in the comments below!
