TRINITY AND BEYOND American Cinema

On August 6th and August 9th, 1995, the world observed the 50th anniversaries of the most
destructive forces ever unleashed in human history: the dropping of atomic bombs by the United
States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Filmmaker Peter Kuran has dedicated the past three
years to the production of this chronicle of the top secret, strange and visually compelling history
of the design, production and testing of atomic and hydrogen bombs by the United States,
and the motivations behind it. Narrated by William Shatner and featuring an original score performed
by the.Moscow Symphony Orchestra, Trinity and Beyond incorporates rare previously
unreleased and classified government footage which depicts in graphic detail these powerful and
awesome weapons.
