CBC Docs::HIROSHIMA:This Sunday

PASSIONATE EYE SHOWCASE

(Sunday August 5 at 10pm ET/PT on CBC Newsworld)

HIROSHIMA

It was the defining moment of the 20th Century - the scientific, technological, military, and political gamble of the world’s first atomic attack. This drama-documentary attempts to do what no other film has done before - to show what it is like to live through a nuclear explosion, millisecond by millisecond.

Set in the three weeks from the first test explosion in New Mexico to the eventual dropping of the bomb, the action takes viewers into the room where the crucial political decisions are made; on board the Enola Gay on her fateful voyage; inside the bomb as it explodes; and on the streets of Hiroshima when disaster strikes.

CASTRO AND THE KENNEDY CONSPIRACY

John F. Kennedy’s assassination on November 22, 1963 was the murder of the century and a defining moment in U.S. history. Over the last 40 years, numerous theories have emerged surrounding JFK’s death and his assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. Following three years of research, filmmaker Wilfried Huismann presents a new scenario based on compelling information that point to Oswald as a weapon-for-hire in the deadly duel between John F. Kennedy and Fidel Castro.
