Когда солнце упало с неба
Director of Photography
Документальный фильм посвящён атомной бомбардировке Хиросимы в 1945 году и её очевидцам. Автор фильма, Айа Домениг, родилась в Японии, её дед был врачом, и оказывал помощь в Хиросиме в первые дни после бомбардировки. Айа видит, что раны нанесенные атомным взрывом не зажили в Японии до сих пор. Страх охватывает всё японское общество, это и страх радиации, и ненависть к людям, подвергшимся её действию, и возмущение против атомной электроэнергии. Катастрофа на атомной станции Фукусима в 2014 году вызывает новую невероятную волну страха и протеста, призраки вновь возникают из тьмы и поражают сердца людей. Хотя участники фильма сами были очевидцами катастрофы, их свидетельства не всегда вызывают доверие, поскольку они больше основаны на эмоциях, а не на доказанных фактах.
