Abdus Salam Documentary (Netflix)

3. Hi Jim___ thank you for your comment.

I don't know if this will answer your question, but I found the following information here:

https://physicsworld.com/a/abdus-salam-back-in-the-spotlight/

From this article:


Still keen to give back to his country, however, Salam accepted a post as presidential science adviser in Pakistan. He also helped the country to develop a nuclear-weapon programme. Or did he? The film at this point turns murky, trapped in the politics of 1970s Pakistan. The government, it seems, wanted Salam for his scientific talents but didn’t want to admit it was relying on someone who was an Ahmadi. Later we see President Zia honouring Salam, yet we also hear Salam announcing we should get rid of nuclear weapons altogether. It’s a confusing picture that reminds me of Werner Heisenberg’s equally ambiguous involvement in Germany’s nuclear programme during the Second World War.

If I find more information, I will share it as well.

Thank you again!

Wishing you well and peace:
