University Showcase, 5/20, 8:30a: In 2013, journalist and author Eric Schlosser wrote It offered a compelling account of accidents, near misses, and technological breakthroughs about the management of the nuclear arsenal.

The book was later made into a documentary. And in 2016 he partnered with artist Smriti Keshari and director Kevin Ford to create the film 鈥渢he bomb.鈥� It uses driving music by the band The Acid, archival footage and modern images to hit viewers on an emotional level about nuclear weapons.

After staging events around the world, the team scaled down the installation to tour college campuses. 鈥淭he bomb鈥� is on view at University of New Mexico鈥檚 Zimmerman Library through May 30th.
