Black Rain — Japan
The 1989 Japanese film by Shohei Imamura depicts the lives of Hiroshima survivors years after the bomb — the lingering radiation sickness, social stigma and silent suffering of the hibakusha.
The atomic bombing of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 killed approximately 80,000 people immediately; by the end of 1945 the death toll had risen to 90,000-166,000. Survivors (hibakusha) faced radiation illness, social discrimination and psychological trauma for decades. Imamura's film, based on Masuji Ibuse's novel, focuses on a young woman excluded from marriage because she may have been exposed to radiation.
