Hiroshima

Set in the weeks from the first test explosion in New Mexico to the eventual dropping of the bomb, viewers are taken into the room where the crucial political decisions were made; on board the Enola Gay on her fateful journey and even inside the bomb as it explodes. On the streeets of Hiroshima, we witness the devastation. Nearly 100,000 people were killed instantly and those who managed to survive - in spite of the lethal heat blast, the colossal shockwave and the invisible effects of gamma radiation - tell stories of a living nightmare. Using archive footage, state-of-the-art visual techniques and dramatic reconstructions based on unprecedented access to protagonists and witnesses, we see the dropping of the bomb in its historical and political context and unflinchingly depicts the effects of the nuclear explosion.

""A las 08.15 horas del fatídico 6 de agosto de 1945, la primera bomba de uranio experimental ("A little bo"-como fué denominada), es liberada del "Enola Gay" a una altura de seis mil millas sobre la ciudad japonesa de Hiroshima. Una nube enorme en forma de hongo cargada de neutrones y energía forma una bola de fuego colosal con una envergadura de 280 metros, diez veces más brillante que el sol. Horas más tarde, la ciudad luce devastada, la bomba había matado a miles de personas y aquellos que habían logrado sobrevivir, llevaban ceniza y material radiactivo impregnado en sus cuerpos. En este documental sin precedente, se reproduce minuto a minuto, segundo a segundo, lo que ocurre dentro de la bomba en el momento de ser activada y lanzada y la tensión en el cuartel de guerra entre los servicios de inteligencia norteamericano y japonés. Diversos testimonios de sobrevivientes son vivamente reconstruidos como testigos de la historia; hechos que se combinan para dar una narrativa viva e inolvidable de horror y tragedia."--Envase."@es
