20 Years ago, a tribute was held at the American Film Institute in Hollywood, California for a special group of filmmakers; filmmakers whose credits never appeared on the big screen. They were a team of photographers, producers, and technicians, who put together hundreds of classified films for the Dept. Of Defense and the Dept. Of Energy.
Their jobs were shrouded in secrecy. The atomic bomb blasts they filmed were a matter of national security. Now, 50 years after the opening of their secret film studio, their story can be told.

"The Atomic Filmmakers" combines interviews with members of this top secret film studio who put their lives on the line photographing atomic tests, combined with newly declassified footage, make this an unforgettable video.
