The two-hour documentary airing Aug. 2 will mark the 75th anniversary of the U.S. dropping atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, which contributed to ending World War II. “The documentary will utilize never-before-seen archival footage, long-suppressed color film from the immediate aftermath of the bomb and audio testimony from victims, to provide a highly personal understanding of the most devastating experiment in human history," A&E Networks said in a statement. The documentary, directed by James Erskine, was made in collaboration with Hulu Japan, A+E International and A+E Networks Japan.
