Ep 32 - Oppenheimer: Seeking Between Black and White

Updated: Sep 1, 2023

Who would have thought a biopic adaptation of a 1000-page tome would become a summer blockbuster? Author Daniela A. Mera and returning guest Conor Hilton join us for a discussion of Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. How did we as Latter-day Saints wrestle with the film's ambiguous messages about the development of the atomic bomb as well as the portrayal of sexual infidelity? We think about the meaning of truly seeking for truth in difficult historical facts and a film with a messy message.
