Episode of Series “Horizon”.
By talking with survivors, the bombing of Hiroshima is reconstructed together with dramatic pictures, creating an impression of what it would be like to “live” through an A-bomb experience. Made in collaboration with Prof. Robert Jay Lifton and based on his book “Death in life”.
