(10-1-07) “WHITE LIGHT BLACK RAIN”

 
"Made 60 years after the nuclear attacks on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this documentary features interviews with atomic bomb survivors, who help shed light on the tragic events. Because of the bombings, tens of thousands of people perished, the overwhelming majority of whom were civilians. Veteran filmmaker Steven Okazaki continues in his tradition of carefully exploring the human side of difficult social issues."
 
MOVIE REVIEW:
BY REDELL HEARN
 
"I read an article about the filmmaker Steven Okazaki in an in-flight magazine which prompted me to order this film.
I watched this documentary yesterday and I will never forget it. Having experienced Katrina up close and personal, this was a necessary wake up call. There are instances when a film can impact your life in ways you never imagined, this is one for me. War is not so much about what "war" does to other human beings, its more about what human beings do to each other under the guise of war."
