Production

David Peoples noted the experience of the film, which he worked with his wife Janey and director Jon H. Else:

Janet and I first collaborated on a film very early on when I was still a film editor. Jon Else, who was a giant in documentary filmmaking asked me to edit and write with him on a picture about Robert Oppenheimer. At that point Janet said she was going to write a book about Oppenheimer and she knew more than I did about him, so Jon said why doesn’t she write with us. I went on editing the film. Jan, Jon and I worked on the writing.
