About the event
The 1954 classic Gojira (Godzilla) is a haunting, allegorical horror film in which American nuclear testing awakens and mutates a prehistoric sea creature, unleashing destruction on Tokyo. Beyond its terrifying spectacle, the film explores the consequences of humanity’s technological hubris, the ethical dilemmas of scientific discovery, and the lingering fears of nuclear devastation, reflecting postwar anxieties in a society grappling with the power – and peril – of atomic energy.
