Vad hände när Einstein lämnade Nazityskland? Den tyske fysikern Albert Einstein var 66 år gammal när en atombomb släpptes över Hiroshima den 6 augusti 1945. Fram till sin död tio år senare var han förtärd av skuld och ånger: 1939 skickade han ett brev till Franklin D. Roosevelt som hjälpte till att övertyga USA om att gå in i kärnvapenkapplöpningen. Den här dokumentären dissekerar sinnet hos ett torterat geni genom att undersöka hans egna ord och uttalanden, såväl som arkivmaterial.

History Uncovered

History Uncovered 2019

7.14

Myths die hard, and the history of the 20th century is no exception to this rule. Even today, we hold popular beliefs that we take for Evangelical truths. Thus, we believe that Hiroshima caused Japan to surrender, that the Marshall Plan saved Europe, that Adolf Hitler was a military genius, or that Mao Zedong was a necessary evil for China’s modernization. Of course, these judgements contain some truth; but, too broad-stroked to be accurate, they contradict the historical reality by denying its complexity. What if the truth was slightly different? Through an exploration of great national or international myths, this full archive documentary collection revisits the key moments of the 20th century with a new perspective in order to provide a new, smarter and more subtle interpretation, bringing elements to light that have been forgotten or sometimes overshadowed.
