"The atomic bomb was a necessary evil to end the war."

This has been the common explanation made in history classes of the Western schools. But, is that really the case ?

The doubt raised by a British film maker turned out to become the motivation for the special film to verify the context of the bombing of Hiroshima.?

Along with the research and the filming done by the British production team, NHK Hiroshima came on board as a co-producer contributing precious archives and accumulated research regarding the subject.

The story is told from the view points of U.S.A. Japan, and Hiroshima, revealing how and why the A-bomb was developed and dropped, which eventually leads us to the story "how it has changed the world".
