Steven Okazaki's powerful new film, White Light/Black Rain, made its television premiere on HBO on August 6, 2007, and will have repeat showings throughout August and September (HBO schedule). The critically acclaimed documentary features fourteen Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors and is a remarkable document of the only times nuclear weapons have been used in war.
"Compelling and compassionate," wrote Duane Byrge of The Hollywood Reporter, "a sobering and startling look at the survivors of the atomic bomb."
"A tale of human will, and in some cases, forgiveness," said Steve Ramos of IndieWIRE. "Okazaki, as masterful as ever, shows both sides of the bombings with his perfectly structured and utterly engaging historical documentary."
"One hopes it is not too late for the world to listen and learn," wrote Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times.
White Light/Black Rain is a production of HBO Documentary Films. |
