About Buying the Bomb
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh presents his first television investigation for Frontline. Nazir Ahmed Vaid was arrested in USA, but was released after 4 months, for a Pakistani alleged effort to procure components for their nuclear program.
Directed by Mark Obenhaus, Buying the Bomb leans on a strong ensemble — Seymour Hersh, Judy Woodruff — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1985.
