The Forgotten Bomb has reminded me how important it is that we never forget how WWII ended and what happened to our fellow human beings in Japan. My father, a WW II veteran always told my sisters and me that it was necessary to use the bombs to end the war and he dehumanized the Japanese; that never really "fit" with my way of thinking/feeling.
The film focuses on several distinct themes: human cost, financial cost, moral cost and the current use of the technology developed and its potential continued misuse as a weapon of mass destruction OR for nuclear power and how unsafe it really can be (think tsunami in Japan after the devastating earthquake).
Ryan and Overbey have created a film that is rich on facts, at times tense with challenging information, a call to "do something" and, thankfully, some lighthearted bits of humor (in cartoon form).
I highly recommend this film be viewed by all.
