A New Movie--And Film Suppressed for Decades

So I see there's an upcoming movie coming out about the U.S. occupation of Japan after World War II.  This is a cinematic subject rarely covered in recent years and as you might imagine--having written extensively on postwar Hiroshima and Nagasaki--this interests me a good deal.  But forget the aftermath of The Bomb.  This one focuses on an aide to Gen. MacArthur probing whether Emperor Hirohito ordered the attack on Pearl Harbor or was in the dark.  MacArthur is played by Tommy Lee Jones.  An early review.  It's called Emperor.

A far more important film--never made--was shot by U.S. troops in 1945-46 documenting the physical, and human, damage in Hiroshima.  If it had been released, it might have changed the course of the nuclear era and arms race but it was suppressed by the U.S. for decades.  It's the subject of my book Atomic Cover-up.  You can read about it here and watch little video, with some of the footage, below.
