The intense fires created around Hiroshima by the bomb carried large quantities of ash into the atmosphere. The ash had the effect of "seeding" the clouds and the result was a "black rain" which fell 1-2 hours after the explosion. This rain, which almost had the consistency of tar, was a combination of the ash, radioactive fallout, and water. 2, record 1, English, - black%20rain

This film records a lecture given to students by outspoken nuclear critic, Dr. Helen Caldicott, president of Physicians for Social Responsibility in the United States. Her message is clear, disarmement cannot be postponed. Archival film footage of the bombing of Hiroshima and images of its survivors seven months after the attack heighten the urgency of her message : namely, that unless we shake off our indifference and work to prevent nuclear war, we stand a slim chance of surviving the 20th century. 1, record 2, English, - If%20you%20love%20this%20planet
