Nuclear Risks

Nuclear power has changed the world - both as a destructive weapon and as a controversial source of energy. Our collection sheds light on the far-reaching consequences of nuclear technologies from a historical, political and social perspective. It ranges from the “Manhattan Project” to the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the reactor accidents in Fukushima and Chernobyl, from secret military operations to civilian resistance against nuclear waste storage facilities. The films take a critical look at the power structures behind nuclear power, the invisibility of radioactive threats and the question of how societies deal with the long-term consequences. The focus is not only on technological risks, but also on human destinies, the culture of remembrance and responsibility towards future generations.
