Delving into his complex mind, this prize-winning documentary explores what happened before, during and after the testing of the world's first atomic bomb in the deserts of New Mexico in July 1945.

After this first atomic bomb test, events unfolded quickly, setting a course of action that’s still debated today, more than three-quarters of a century later.

Using declassified military documents and interviews with eyewitnesses, the film provides a unique insight into a critical moment in human history. ‘Oppenheimer After Trinity’ is a thought-provoking and insightful documentary that also offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the mind of Dr J. Robert Oppenheimer.

Through archival interviews with the man himself, the documentary tells a deeply personal story and sheds light on what it means to be responsible for building a devastating weapon. But the film also serves as a reminder that the potential for both destruction and progress lies within us.
