The individuals interviewed come from very different backgrounds: soldiers, scientists, historians, activists and politicians.
Like any good documentary, the viewer gets both sides of the story, interspersed with historical references from the earliest secret desert tests during WWII to the most recent issues concerning North Korea. As a truly international film, the thoughts and attitudes presented come from Japanese, Korean, German, French, English, Dutch and American participants.
Some are in favor of disarmament while some are against. Both sides of the issue help us to better understand what the H-bomb and its stakes are today, and what they could be tomorrow.
