    Thought provoking and heartfelt to civilian victims

    Provided a different perspective that was thought-provoking and heartfelt, so sad. Anyone complaining this is anti-American propaganda should consider putting their ego aside and have some empathy to real victims from this event, we cannot deny the damage this did. Great documentary.

    The Worst Sort Of Propaganda

    This is garbage. Its the definition of revisionist history. Its like they went through all the historic documents and picked the ones that fit their anti-American agenda.

    Any responsible WW2 historian should be dismayed. The truth was that the bombs was the only option, and it ultimately served the purpose of showing the world how futile nuclear warfare was. As a result, there hasn't been a major was since.

    This is a filthy lie.

    A true glimpse of history - strongly recommended!

    I'm not certain the other reviewer (or at least a person who commented) on this film actually watched the video. The comment so far removed from reality I can only assume this was the rambling of someone who feels ashamed of what the US military did to the people of Hiroshima (and Nagasaki, for that matter).

    This is one of the only historically true documentaries on this horrible event that doesn't include images of US bodies washed-up on some island - in an attempt to justify killing all those tens of thousands of civilians in the name of "saving US lives".

    This documentary is horrible. The images are disturbing. But this documentary is real - which makes it all the more disturbing.

    Revisionist Garbage

    This so-called documentary is a completely biased, revisionist account of the decision and mission to use the first atomic weapon on Japan. The narrative implies that Japan was going to surrender anyway but the Americans ignored their peace feelers to that the bomb could be used in action. What rubbish. If they were going to surrender, then they should have surrendered before the bomb could be dropped.

    What particularly galls me are the scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project and have since spoken out against the use of the bomb. They were completely happy eating their government-issued roast beef and lamb and ice cream at Los Alamos, and they took their paychecks for working on the bomb from the U.S. government with pleasure, and now they have the nerve to play holier than thou? The old scientist in the film that hinted he should have sabotaged the bomb should be charged with treason.

    Don't watch this film, unless you want to be either angered or entertained by the anti-American, ham-fisted, bleeding-heart propaganda.

    P.S. Spoiler alert. The Japanese started the war, and the U.S. won it, in part thanks to the bomb.

    Worst 'revisionist' view of an historical FACT !

    Where the HELL did they FIND that the German-Nazis where researching Atomic Bomb Manufacture + that they WERE stockpiling URANIUM (ore) in vats ... while concentrating their 'imports' on "" Heavy Water "" from (occupied) Norway ... ? !

    Lucy Vanbeek is a pathetic 'spreader' of far-out U. S. theories ... NO HISTORY here : where is (the) ATLANTIS again ... with the DINOSAURS we expect , just before the (?) FLOOD, right ? ...
