[KineJapan] Atomic Bowl now streaming

[Markus Nornes]

I was an advisor on a powerful new documentary called Atomic Bowl: Football at Ground Zero. It’s already starting winning prizes at international festivals, and just went online for free streaming at PBS:

Incredibly, this is one of the few films to focus on the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. The director is Greg Mitchell, the foremost journalist of the atomic bombings and director a film from a few years back on the genabaku eiga. 

This film introduces the ghastly and little-known Atomic Bowl, a ghastly new year’s football game the US military staged on the bombed out grounds of a school. (It had to be touch football because there was still too much broken glass in the ground.) It’s a particularly important film for anyone teaching the atomic bombings. Please take a look.
