White Light, Black Rain - new Hiroshima/Nagasaki film

ICAN partner Japanese for Peace held a screening in Melbourne of the new film White Light, Black Rain - The Destruction Of Hiroshima And Nagasaki, directed by Steven Okazaki.

This is a powerfully moving documentary featuring interviews with survivors ("hibakusha") of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings, as well as Americans including the pilot and "weaponeer" who dropped the bombs.

Look for other screenings near you, or perhaps buy a copy of the dvd and hold a fundraising screening for your local ICAN supporter group.
