'Hell From The Skies' ; White Light, Black Rain

Looking forward to the HBO premiere of the Steven Okazaki documentary White Light, Black Rain on Monday the 6th. The focus of the program is of the atomic bombs dropped on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki 60 plus years ago this week, with stories of both survivors, many of whom had never told their story before, and of Americans involved with the bombings.



A review of the documentary in the JAPAN TIMES piqued my thoughts when I read it. Plus, the show will give all of us another chance to reassess the effects of using nuclear weapons in any manner, this reminder especially timely given the nature of some world leaders and their ideologies.
