Featuring interviews with fourteen atomic bomb survivors, many of whom have never spoken publicly before, and four Americans intimately involved in the bombings, WHITE LIGHT/BLACK RAIN provides a detailed exploration of the bombings and their aftermath. In a succession of riveting personal accounts, the film reveals both unimaginable suffering and extraordinary human resilience.
White Light/Black Rain isn't a Japanese production, but it deals with one of the most horrifying events in Japanese history and it's by far the best one I've seen on this subject. The footage from the bomb sites is tragically gruesome, so it is very easy to get disturbed, and there's more than one scene that makes you want to look another way. White Light shows the unfiltered brutality of these bombings, and let's the survivors tell you their own heartbreaking stories of how it really was to live in those fateful days so many years ago.
