Краткое содержание
Winston Churchill understood the power of films, but the true extent of his use of cinema as a propaganda tool is rarely explored. In 1934, one of Britain's most celebrated film producers, Alexander Korda, signed Churchill up as a screenwriter and historical advisor. It was the start of a unique collaboration. Churchill provided script notes for Korda's productions and penned an epic screenplay. When war broke out, their collaboration took on national importance. Korda was sent on a mission to Hollywood to help bring America into the war, with positive results. With access to previously undiscovered documents, this film documentary examines that mission and a friendship that underpinned a unique, creative partnership.

А в 8:15 по местному времени этот самолет сбросил бомбу на японский город Хиросима. Бомба мощностью 20 тыс. тонн тротилового эквивалента взорвалась на высоте 600 метров над городом... В этой программе с помощью реальной кинохроники, актеров и компьютерной графики воссозданы события самой чудовищной и впечатляющей бомбардировки в истории человечества. Это была не просто военная операция, а демонстрация силы США, в результате которой до конца 1945 года в Хиросиме погибли около 140 тысяч человек - почти половина населения города. Тысячи других жителей умерли от полученных ранений и лучевой болезни в последовавшие годы. Очень важно, чтобы трагическая судьба Хиросимы сохранялась в исторической памяти подрастающих поколений.
