Incredibly graphic and confronting, but it should be, effectively driving home how horrifying these nuclear attacks were, and the enormous impact they had not just in 1945, but also in the ensuing decades.
It was a good choice to focus on the survivors. I feel like often in documentaries about tragedies, the survivor's stories aren't focused on as much, but here, I'd say at least 75% of the documentary is devoted to their experiences. Their stories are horrifying and have a great impact.
Living in a western country, there definitely seems to be more media and documentaries about other historical tragedies over this one (or these two, more accurately). Sometimes, you need a blunt, graphic, but respectful documentary like this to make a knowledge of the statistics of those who died more than just a number.
