The impact on victims as told by victims submitted by Kimberlyrol on June 26, 2017, 7:23am This film provides both an overview of the cities touched by the atomic bombs and personal accounts as told by the victims, often in graphic detail. In addition, members intimately involved with dropping the bomb are interviewed. Excellent collage of interviews and historic footage.
