As global tensions rise, the unthinkable again seems possible. Most people have forgotten or never knew. The nuclear threat continues to be real and frightening. WHITE LIGHT/BLACK RAIN, produced for HBO Documentary Films, stands as a powerful warning that with enough nuclear weapons to equal 400,000 Hiroshimas, we cannot afford to forget what happened on those two days in 1945.

After 70 years, the bombings continue to inspire argument, denial, and myth. Academy Award-winning filmmaker Steven Okazaki unfolds this gripping history through interviews with 14 survivors and four Americans who were intimately involved in the bombings.

Doors open at 6:30p.m. for light refreshments.  After-film discussion optional.
