    The main focus is on Oppenheimer’s journey, from communist to working on the Manhattan project, and his life after the project. They don’t glorify the process, although it’s fair to say the deaths in Japan don’t get a huge amount of attention.

    It’s also worth noting the program originally began as a race against Germany to build a nuke.
