New film coming on HBO

Today, with the world's arsenal capable of repeating the destruction at Hiroshima 400,000 times over, Steven Okazaki (the Oscar®-winning "Days of Waiting") revisits the bombings and their aftermath in the exclusive HBO presentation WHITE LIGHT/BLACK RAIN: THE DESTRUCTION OF HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI. Debuting MONDAY, AUG. 6 (7:30-9:00 p.m. ET/PT), the 62nd anniversary of the bombings, the powerful documentary provides a graphic, unflinching look at the reality of nuclear warfare through first-hand accounts of both survivors and American men who carried out the bombing missions.
