How it feels

The film uses a 1949 essay about the atomic bomb as its soundtrack. The images are photographs from school textbooks and TV footage that show how those in power gamble with human lives.

What happens

Du må leve er en film instrueret af Aase Steensen, Kaj M. Mortensen. Teksten er fra Vilhelm Grønbæks essay ATOMBOMBEN, udgivet 1949, og billedsiden som ledsager denne tekst er affotograferinger af de billeder, vi har set og modtaget i vores skoleundervisning. Et associationsgrundlag for vores kultur - for vores indre billeder. Der er billeder og lyd fra TV - det handler om magthavernes spillen med menneskeliv. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
