Hiroshima: Out of the Ashes Movie Review 1990

The terrible aftermath of the bombing of Hiroshima, August, 1945, as seen through the eyes of American and Japanese soldiers, the Japanese people, and a priest. Carefully detailed and realistic, creates an amazing emotional response. Don't miss the scene in which Nelson and his buddy find themselves surrounded by Japanese--the enemy--only to realize that their "captors" have been blinded by the blast. Created as an homage for the 45th anniversary of the bombing.
