DESCRIPTION:Thursday, August 10, 7pm\nAmerica Was Never Great Film Series \nFilm 
 Showing & Discussion\n\nWhite Light/Black Rain: The Destruction of 
 Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a film by Steven Okazaki\n\nAt 8:15 am, on August 
 6, 1945, a blazing, million-degree fireball suddenly appeared just above 
 the Japanese city of Hiroshima, instantly killing, burning alive, or 
 vaporizing tens of thousands.\n\nThe U.S. had just exploded the first 
 nuclear bomb over the center of a city of 350,000. killing between 
 140-150,000. Three days later, on August 9, the U.S. dropped an even more 
 powerful nuclear bomb on Nagasaki, destroying the city and murdering 
 another 70,000 people.\n\nWHITE LIGHT/BLACK RAIN reveals the unimaginable 
 destructive power of the bombs, the inconceivable suffering and 
 extraordinary human resilience.  Director Steven Okazaki tells the amazing, 
 shocking and inspiring stories of fourteen survivors.\n\nWHITE LIGHT/BLACK 
 RAIN stands as a powerful warning that, with enough nuclear weapons to 
 equal 400,000 Hiroshimas, we can't afford to forget what happened on those 
 two days in 1945. We also can't forget that the US is the only country that 
 has ever used nuclear weapons in war, that the US government has never said 
 it was wrong to use them against Japan, and that to this day, it has a 
 policy justifying first use of nuclear weapons in future wars.\n\nThis is 
 especially true now under the Trump/Pence fascist regime with Trump's 
 finger on the nuclear button. In just the past weeks, Trump/Pence have 
 threatened millions around the globe by deploying attack aircraft carriers 
 and nuclear submarines to the Korean Peninsula, setting up the THAAD 
 anti-missile defense system in South Korea and threatening Iran and other 
 countries.\n\nAmerican Crime #97 Nuclear Incineration of Hiroshima\n
