Why resurrect?  How about because this is history. We do not question 

a documentary that addresses war, racism, intolerance, injustice, 

genocide, etc. This is all a part of our history. If we are to 

condemn all documentaries that are "anti-nuclear", then we also need 

to condemn all documentaries that show our worse side, where we were 

not in our finest hour. However, if we do that, we are one sad 

society. We all learn from history to make life better, or so we 

should.
