----> Event Description
<---------------------------------------------------------
The Loft is pleased to be one of the few theatres chosen to play the
new documentary, WHITE LIGHT/BLACK RAIN for three days only on March
12-14.
"Filmmaker Steven Okazaki asks several contemporary Japanese
teenagers in a Hiroshima mall if the date Aug. 6, 1945, means
anything special to them. Beneath their baseball caps and Western-
style teen wear, they seem puzzled. That date, and its horrific
Nagasaki partner of Aug. 9, should never be forgotten, and this
thoughtful HBO Documentary Films Presentation offers firsthand
accounts from survivors, people who were lucky enough not to be
vaporized like 200,000 of their fellow citizens. In this compelling
and compassionate document, filmmaker Steven Okazaki interviewS 14
survivors, intercutting their reflections and obvious physical
burdens with film footage and photos from the days following the
bombings. Not diffused by any political statement or argument
regarding the bombings, Okazaki's film is a stirring and heart-
wrenching statement of the horrible powers that mankind holds in its
fist." -HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
