Himself
A medida que aumentan las tensiones mundiales, la amenaza impensable de la guerra nuclear se ha vuelto muy real y muy aterradora. A través de los poderosos recuerdos de los sobrevivientes de las bombas atómicas que arrasaron dos ciudades japonesas en 1945, esta película presenta una mirada profundamente conmovedora sobre el doloroso legado de la primera Bomba Nuclear. Dirigida por el cineasta ganador del Oscar Steven Okazaki ('Days of Waiting' de 1990), 'Luz blanca/Lluvia negra' ofrece una descripción completa y conmovedora de los bombardeos de Hiroshima y Nagasaki desde los puntos de vista únicos de la gente, japoneses y estadounidenses, que estaban allí.
Himself
At 89, Doctor Hida, a survivor of the 1945 atomic bomb at Hiroshima, continues to care for some of the other quarter of a million survivors. Atomic Wounds retraces his dedicated journey and highlights how the terrible danger of radiation was concealed by successive American administrations in the 50's - 70's so that nuclear power could be freely developed, with no concern for public health.
Himself - Hiroshima Survivor
Hiroshima fue el momento que caracterizó el siglo XX: la apuesta científica, tecnológica, militar y política del primer ataque atómico del mundo. La película se sitúa en las tres semanas transcurridas desde la primera explosión experimental en Nuevo México hasta el lanzamiento final de la bomba. Estaremos en el despacho donde se toman decisiones políticas cruciales, a bordo del Enola Gay en su fatídico viaje, dentro de la bomba al explotar y en las calles de Hiroshima al producirse el desastre.
