White Light/Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (2007) Synopsis

As global tensions rise, the unthinkable threat of nuclear war has become very real - and very frightening. 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 nuclear weapons in war. Directed by Oscar(R)-winning filmmaker Steven Okazaki (1990's 'Days of Waiting'), '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.—Anonymous
