Attention is drawn to the interesting chemical structure of water and then to its amazing life-sustaining properties. On the surface, this 1958 film may seem like an average documentary film, but like most of films from the Moody Institute of Science, there is an ulterior motive. While revealing the complexity of nature, their films would end with Moon saying that this complexity was part of God's plan rather than evolution. Moody Institute of Science films were marketed to churches and also to public schools where today even the mention of the word "God" sparks a conflagration of protests and court cases.
1952 Detonation of the hydrogen bomb. This film was featured - minimally edited, and with the same old music - in Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie (Peter Kuran's exquisite 1995 documentary).
