white light black rain...

two of my favorite shows on tv are entourage and the countdown series on the big boxing fights (de la hoya vs mayweather, mayweather vs hatton and now jones vs trinidad); both HBO specials. however, as i sit here at 5 am waiting for the countdown to jones and trinidad, i stumbled upon another doc of sort that's pretty crazy/unreal/frightening. steven okazaki's critically acclaimed documentary on the aftermath of the infamous atom bombs titled "white light black rain" explores the horror of what it did to the civilians of hiroshima and nagasaki. sure, we've all heard, read and seen some of this before, but this film showed photos, videos and personal accounts that were far more vivid than anything i had ever seen before. something worth checking out (especially for you pro war folks)...

here's a good interview with the filmmaker himself....
