A spellbinding story, magnificent performances - this film has it all.

Hiroshima: Out of the Ashes recounts the unimaginable event of August 6, 1945 when the entire city of Hiroshima was annihilated by a nuclear bomb.

Seen through the eyes of a disparate group of survivors, the aftermath of the bombing is revealed in all its horrific ferocity: whole city blocks have been vaporized and anguished citizens search for loved ones in the mangled debris.
