Hiroshima

Hiroshima is a BBC docudrama that analyses and depicts the devastating impact of the world’s first nuclear attack on the Japanese city of Hiroshima by the United States military in 1945. Narrated by John Hurt, it includes re-enactments of events before and after the bombing, as recounted by first-hand witnesses.

The film chronicles the political decisions and planning undertaken by the United States prior to dropping the atomic weapon. It features interviews with Japanese survivors of the attack, Americans involved in its execution, archive footage of nuclear explosions, and computer-generated imagery of the bombing.
