Had to watch this twice. Singlehandedly changed my view on nuclear weapons.

Why, did you think beforehand that they were wonderful inventions of human civilization? or was this change the other way round :ohdear: ?

I knew I'd have to loving come back and defend myself when giving the documentary a thumbs up.

Whoa. No one said you needed to defend yourself for anything. I was simply curious how someone can find anything really new and mind-changing about the consequences of dropping nuclear bombs in a film like this. I mean I saw it and liked it too, and I'll give you that it's really effective in making the whole thing much more visceral and direct than usual, but it's not like there hasn't been a dozen of novels and movies (since at least the cold war) already telling you the same things over and over in no uncertain terms.
