I watched an older documentary (I think it was made in 1989) called "Radio Bikini" via streaming Netflix.
Pretty interesting documentary about Operation Crossroads and (obviously) the Able and Baker shots. Had lots of footage from the guys on Bikini in 1946. Amazing what these poor SOBs were told by the Government/Superiors with regard to safety / fallout etc.
I really enjoyed it; but I'm a big Cold War and Nuke buff.
Also watched "Frontline: The Confessions", about 5 or so Navy sailors falsely accused and imprisoned for a rape they didn't commit as a result of high pressure interrogations. Scary sh*t, from the stand point of thinking "I'm innocent, I'm not going to jail"...yet being sent there for 10 years anyway. The first part exposes the 'false confession' aspect, and the 2nd part goes on to show how they couldn't have done it etc.
