Beneath the Dust — Episode 1

On August 6th, 1945, a single flash of light split the sky over Hiroshima—and the world was never the same. In this gripping premiere of Beneath the Dust, we dive into the chilling countdown to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the minds behind the Manhattan Project, and the devastating aftermath felt by survivors on the ground.

Told in dramatic, immersive detail, this episode explores not only the science and strategy behind the bomb but the human cost etched into history’s memory. Was it necessary? What did it mean for the future of warfare—and humanity?

Join us as we uncover the day the world changed forever.
