It needed to be expanded more than a 40 minute short....
29 February 2020
I found out about this documentary short through Netflix and honestly felt it could be better if it was an hour documentary. Also the renactment of what happened to Yamaguchi on that extremely tragic day didn't give in my personal opinion, any strong feelings of how he felt. With renactments in documentaries they mostly show it truly well whereas in this documentary, it was poorly done. That included the CGI part where it showed the bomb hitting both cities.

This documentary would have been better if:- * Yamaguchi was given a lot more screentime *Have it as a feature film (like the other reviewer said) than a short * The CGI part wasn't there

Although for the good part, it did show some strong feelings when we see Yamaguchi talking to schools about his experience and of course seeing him breaking down while bravely admitting what happened in his experience during the bombing, was very hard to watch.

There should be a film in tribute to this legend of a man like seriously 40 minutes is not enough to cover what truly happened on the 9th of August 1945 <\3
