Atomic People
9pm, BBC Two
“My mum and I were outside feeding the rabbits.” “As soon as I thought, ‘That’s beautiful’, I suddenly couldn’t see anything.” “The hairs on my head were making a sizzle, sizzle, sizzle sound.” These are the spine-chilling memories of the Hibakusha – people who survived the two atomic bombs that were dropped on Japan – speaking about life before, during and after that unimaginable and obliterating week in August 1945. Hollie Richardson
