Title from container.
Narrated by Kazuko Oshima, Paul Ronder.
Featured is the first footage shot following the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The viewer becomes an eyewitness to the bomb's aftermath, literally walking through the rubble and hospitals jammed with dying people. With only black and white film available, the film recorded stark and often simple, but telling images of the vast destruction, such as the shadows of leaves, flowers, and other objects burned onto stone.
