The Atom: A Love Story plot

Nearly everyone has an opinion about nuclear energy, but how many actually know its history and the complex social and political forces that have shaped it? This documentary shows how we have come this far in seventy years. Both the tantalizing promise and the repeated disappointments of this unique technology are captured. In doing so, the film reveals how the post-war romantic fantasy of an atomic-powered future evolved into the stormy debate that continues to this day.
