Editorial Reviews

Before people could become comfortable with the power of the atom the US Government figured they would have to sell them the idea that it could be used for peaceful purposes. The History of Nuclear Power - Power And The People 2 DVD set is an overview of the propaganda films that the government created to sell nukes to the public. You will see clips dealing with the construction of a nuclear power plant in a small town, and learn the peaceful possibilities of atomic energy. One film depicts an arresting atomic bomb test in a desert. Another film details peaceful applications of nuclear power in construction, civil engineering and the extraction of natural resources. The different subjects covered on the DVDs include: Atomic Energy as a Force for Good (Part I) - Atomic Energy as a Force for Good (Part II) - First Private Atom Power Plant Opens - Atomic Power at Shippingport (Part I) - Atomic Power at Shippingport (Part II) - Bomb Blast Effects - Project Dugout - Plowshare (Part I) - Plowshare (Part II) This vintage collection features some of the great producers such as Warner Pathe News, The Christopher, Universal-International Newsreel, Audio Productions, RKOPathe Production and the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. The DVDs work on any zone DVD player. The disks come with a 30 day money back guarantee and ship in traditional Amaray style DVD cases.

This review is from: History of Nuclear Power - Power And The People (2-DVD Set) (DVD)

Nuclear energy is a touchy subject. Sure, it can be used to save energy and make us use less oil, but it can also be turned into bombs that could kill millions of people.

Approaching a two sided subject like that is never easy - but I felt this disk set does it justice. Obviously these are propoganda films put together by the feds but you do see both sides of the coin with several films about nuclear power as a force for positive change and then you get to see cities blown up.

Thumbs up.
