I had very recently picked up a lot of interest in the Indo-Pak history of wars and after extensive reading about them I turned to the two world wars. I really wanted to know the kind of horror the people of Japan went through on those days. I first came across this documentary film in 2008 or so on a forum, but those were just short clips available on YouTube. So I decided to find its full version.
I got done with it just an hour ago and I am still get over it. I can still feel the impact of what I have watched. A brilliant initiative by the BBC one must admit. Greatly detailed to the extent of almost making one cry hearing the accounts of the survivors. The most horrible being the woman who had to let her daughter die and the "creature" that the doctor saw on his way back to Hiroshima.
This documentary film deserves full marks not only for the way the pain, suffering and horror is depicted but also for being quite impartial - we should remember that the film ends with this question being posed and with that Japanese doctor implying that it wasn't needed.
All in all, I pray to the Almighty that no people on the face of earth are made to go through anything even remotely similar to this again. May the world be protected from wars in general.
Although it may years to complete and I know I am waiting for something years and years away, I am eagerly waiting for my favourite film- maker James Cameron to complete and release his film on the nuclear bombings of Japan. That man knows the secret to making masterpieces and I can confirm that it will be a once in a lifetime affair. Here I wait.......
