5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible heart-wrenching production, August 7, 2007
By 
Granolatx "Brad in Houston" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: White Light/Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (DVD)
If anyone ever says to you, "ah, just drop a nuke on them." Or, if any policy maker ever says, "What we need are tactical nuclear weapons", then they haven't seen nor understand the real horrors not of being killed, but surviving an atomic blast. Instantaneous disintegration is the easy part of this discussion. This is a movie from the survivors point of view that should be shown to all Americans, especially anyone who thinks nuclear war is a game to be won. The effects of these bombs in August, 1945 are still with the survivors today. I never stopped to think what life must be like with your skin burned off, or the side of your face sheered away, or skin dangling like string from your body. You may not be able to watch this documentary all the way through as you see U. S. Army footage of the actual horrors of these blasts, but when you return to the TV after having cried, you will leave with a deep understanding that nuclear weapons are one of the scientific advances the human race should never use again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Been There, August 6, 2007
By 
B. Grant (Indian Wells, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: White Light/Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (DVD)
This is an extra ordinary documentary. I have been to ground zero in Hiroshima and it was one of the most moving experiences in my life. An excellent piece with unbelievable fairness. Show this to your children.

5.0 out of 5 stars A horribly touching documentary., August 10, 2007
By 
C. Harrigan (Brooklyn, NY, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: White Light/Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (DVD)
I've cried every time I have seen this. The atomic bombing of Japan becomes personalized when the very few survivors tell their stories. This documentary truly shows you the destructive capability many countries have now amassed, and why we should never use it.
