À 8h15 précises ce 6 août 1945, le monde a changé. 40.000 personnes trouvent instantanément la mort, mais ce sont bien 200.000 décès qui seront provoqués par l´explosion de la première bombe nucléaire sur Hiroshima, au Japon. Ce documentaire exceptionnel de 90 minutes n´est pas « Un énième film anti-guerre » déclare son réalisateur Paul Wilmshurst, « mais bien l´analyse neutre et objective d´une décision cruciale. Il ne s´agit pas d´être pro-américain ou pro-japonais, j´ai simplement voulu raconter la vérité. » Une vérité technologique, scientifique, militaire et politique qui se dessine dans les trois semaines précédant l´attaque, alors que le premier essai nucléaire vient de se dérouler dans le désert du Nouveau-Mexique, aux États-Unis. Le spectateur se retrouve alors dans la pièce où est prise la décision ultime, à bord de l´Enola Gay pendant son trajet fatidique, à l´intérieur de la bombe au moment de l´explosion, puis dans les rues dévastées d´Hiroshima.

Between 1960 and 1966, France carried out four atmospheric nuclear tests and another thirteen underground ones to the south of Reggane (Algerian Sahara). The first was called Blue Jerboa and was four times as powerful as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. For the first time, French and Tuareg survivors speak of their fight to have their illnesses recognized as such, and reveal in what the conditions the tests were carried out. Fifty years later, the French Army still refuses to acknowledge its responsibility towards the populations exposed to the radiation.
