Synopsis: In August 1945, the world was transformed in the blink of an eye when American forces dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, causing unprecedented destruction, and precipitating the end of World War II.
In this extraordinary HBO Documentary Film, Academy Award-winning filmmaker Steven Okazaki presents shocking archival footage, stunning photography and heart rendering interviews - from both Japanese survivors of the attacks and the Americans who believed their involvement would help end a brutal conflict - for a deeply moving look at the painful legacy of the first use of nuclear weapons in war.
