Not Comics:  Keiji Nakazawa Featured in Hiroshima/Nagasaki Documentary

This link should take you to information on the forthcoming documentary White Light/Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki which will premier a week from Monday. According to the PR stuffed in my mailbox, one of the survivors interviewed is Keiji Nakazawa, author of the comics memoir Barefoot Gen, a book series that details his own experiences during that time. I don't think Barefoot Gen has ever really been fully accepted in literary comics circles, but there are moments of Nakazawa's testimony in that book and in interviews that just stop me in my tracks every time I read them, such as a story about moving the remains of family members around in a bucket. I never want to carry anyone from my family in a bucket.
