White Light/Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

INHALT

Through the powerful recollections of the survivors of two atomic bombs set-off, this extraordinary film presents a deeply moving look at the painful legacy of the first - and hopefully last - use of thermonuclear weapons in war.
Even more than 60 years, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki continue to inspire argument, denial and myth. Through the powerful recollections of the survivors of the atomic bombs that leveled two Japanese cities in 1945, this film presents a deeply moving look at the painful legacy of the first -- and hopefully last -- uses of thermonuclear weapons in war. Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Okazaki, WHITE LIGHT/BLACK RAIN provides a comprehensive, moving account of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki from the unique points of view of the people, both Japanese and American, who were there.
