DESCRIPTION:Cost: $5 - $15 sliding scale.\n\nAtomic Mom weaves an intimate portrait of 
 a complex mother-daughter relationship within an obscure – but important 
 – moment in American history. As the only female scientist present during 
 atomic detonations in the Nevada desert, Pauline Silvia, the filmmaker’s 
 mother, undergoes a crisis of conscience. After a long silence and prompted 
 by her daughter, she finally reveals grim secrets of working in the U.S. 
 atomic testing program. Atomic Mom director M.T. Silvia will lead a Q&A 
 following the film.\n\nIn our present moment of Wikileaks, Pauline is a 
 similar whistle-blower having been cowed by the silencing machine of the US 
 military for decades. In an attempt to reconcile with her own mother’s 
 past, her daughter, filmmaker M.T. Silvia, meets Emiko Okada, a Hiroshima 
 survivor trying to resolve her own history in Japan. The film follows these 
 survivors, each on a different end of atomic warfare, as they “meet” 
 through the filmmaking process, and as they, with startling honestly, 
 attempt to understand the other.\n\nAtomic Mom invites viewers to confront 
 American nuclear history in a completely new way and will inspire dialogue 
 about human rights, personal responsibility, and the possibility – and 
 hope – of peace.\n \nThe next film in Rhythmix Picks Flicks! series is 
 Best Of The Fest: 2014 Albany Film Fest on April 17th.\n\n
