Shuntaro Hida K Kiyoko Imori M Morris Jeppson L Lawrence Johnston P Pan Yeon Kim What White Light/Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Is About
Steven Okazaki's 2007 documentary rests on interviews with fourteen survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and four Americans involved in the bombings. It builds no history lesson; it lays the testimony out one after another. Its hardest passages are the survivors describing the effects on their bodies and the use of archive footage without censorship. Some of the American witnesses still defend the decision, and the film places that alongside the rest without opening an argument, leaving the viewer to reach their own conclusion. Most of the witnesses were speaking for the first time. The imagery is extremely heavy. Who it's for: viewers interested in twentieth-century history and documentaries of testimony. Who it's not for: anyone avoiding images of severe injury and death, or wanting a political analysis.
