This doc reveals an odd slice of atomic history.
artistic director Matt Campbell is offering his must-see picks for each day of the event — including many flicks that movie lovers might otherwise miss amid the flood of silver-screen goodies. Today he spotlights a selection for November 6: is"a really interesting documentary, and the filmmaker, Irene Lusztig, will be here for a Q&A."
There will be plenty to discuss."Richland is a small town in Washington that has a connection to the advent of the atomic bomb," he says."It's not Los Alamos, it's notRichland's brush with the bomb still lingers, Campbell continues:"In some ways, the film is a slice of Americana, profiling this tiny town. But Richland also played a part in the history of the U.S.
One example: The mascot of Richland High School is a mushroom cloud. Director Lusztig"interviews all these kids about what it's like for their school to have this symbol of violence and mass destruction," Campbell says."Some people embrace the history, and there is tourism and things like that involved with it. But a past that's so deep and ingrained brings both good and bad, depending on how you view it.
