TV Review | 'White Light, Black Rain'
Chilling Details, 62 Years Later, of the Ground Zero in Japan
By NEIL GENZLINGER
Published: August 6, 2007

Especially with another 9/11 anniversary not that far away, some of the survivor stories recounted tonight on HBO will sound to many New Yorkers like something they have been hearing a lot in the last six years.

“From under the rubble, my father cried for help,” one man says.

Another recalls: “I couldn’t stand, much less walk. Someone carried me on his back.”

But these recollections are not from the World Trade Center. They are, you might say, from the original ground zero, or from whatever the proper plural of that phrase is. The speakers are people who survived the two atomic bombings, and their stories are the wrenching focal point of “White Light, Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,” a documentary by Steven Okazaki.

Mr. Okazaki visited the same subject two years ago in “The Mushroom Club,” which was nominated for a short-subject Oscar but wasn’t nearly as focused or as powerful as this longer film. “White Light, Black Rain,” which receives its broadcast premiere on the 62nd anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, is fairly conventional, and parts of it, like an obligatory segment featuring Americans involved in making and dropping the bombs, seem familiar. But Mr. Okazaki’s understated images of survivors holding photographs of themselves from before the bombings speak volumes.

The final third of the film is almost unwatchable as Mr. Okazaki turns to clips of survivors (including some of those in his present-day interviews) from the weeks after the bombings. Their burns and other injuries are simply ghastly. “The patients in the hospital, both adult and children, would hear the nurses coming down the hall,” one man recalls, “and as they approached, everyone would beg to be killed.”

The film is a blunt reminder that the goings-on in Germany were not the only “never again” to emerge from World War II.
