Movie Reviews of Modern Marvels - The Manhattan Project (History Channel)
Movie Review: The History Channel: The Manhatten Project
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this in my classroom while covering nuclear chemistry. I thought it was well done and gave a good description of the times. For kids taking chemistry, sometimes a different aspect can make a topic more interesting.
Summary of Modern Marvels - The Manhattan Project (History Channel)
At 5:30 a.m., July 16, 1945, scientists and dignitaries awaited the detonation of the first atomic bomb in a desolate area of the New Mexico desert aptly known as Jornada del Muerto--Journey of Death. Dubbed the Manhattan Project, the top-secret undertaking was tackled with unprecedented speed and expense--almost $30-billion in today's dollars. Los Alamos scientists and engineers relate their trials, triumphs, and dark doubts about building the ultimate weapon of war in the interest of peace.Documentary DVD Video
