‘Then the black rain fell’: survivor’s recollections of Hiroshima inspire new film

A major feature film on Hiroshima is going into production, inspired in
part by an unpublished memoir of a Japanese man who witnessed the
devastation of the city after the atomic bomb was dropped in 1945.

Scriptwriter Elisabeth Bentley was taken aback by the personal
recollections of Kiyoshi Tanimoto in a 230-page memoir that she unearthed
in a US archive. A Christian convert, Tanimoto was a Methodist priest whose
life was saved because he was moving a large wardrobe to another town on a
cart when Hiroshima was bombed.
