Pamphlet of the Office of Atomic Information, USA 1946

The camera closes in on a pamphlet from the Office of Atomic Information, run by the Federation of American Scientists. Such publications aimed to inform the American public about the risks of atomic energy and the political responsibility involved in handling it. After the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, many of the scientists involved called for international control of the new weapon and warned against an arms race. The material was distributed nationwide through education campaigns in 1946.
