Knappenberger's 'Turning Point: The Bomb & the Cold War' Doc Trailer

"What would it mean for a nuclear power to come undone?" Netflix has revealed the official trailer for a documentary series titled Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War, which is the latest "Turning Point" offering following the Turning Point: 9/11 and the War on Terror docu-series also on Netflix. The next chapter in this franchise about the state of the world... From Luminant Media and doc director Brian Knappenberger comes the definitive documentary series on the Cold War. Beginning with the development of the atomic bomb during WWII and the dramatic proliferation of nuclear weapons in the decades after, the series traces Cold War history past the collapse of the Soviet Union to the rise of Vladimir Putin and into the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Featuring new interviews with prominent politicians, journalists, and the people who lived through history, this series is an exploration of the decades-long conflict between the U.S. and the Soviet Union framed by current events that reveal the Cold War continues and the world remains on the precipice of nuclear war. Scary! I always thought the Cold War was behind us, but here we are still right in the middle. Knappenberger is one of my favorite doc directors - I am always up to watch more from him. // Continue Reading ›
