Nuclear Bomb Documentary

I think that NBC aired this piece for both informative and commemorative purposes. Because it was aired exactly 50 years after the attack, it makes sense that it was aired in memory of those who died. There are interviews with those who experienced the attack and those who's lives were affected by it. There were statistics about how many died. In that way, it is clearly commemorating those who died. The documentary is not biased either for or against the US's decision on dropping the nuclear bomb. It explains in chronological order the process of the decision to drop the bomb. There are interviews from people from both the Japanese and American sides. The decision of dropping the bomb is still very controversial and I think that the documentary serves as something to simply answer questions on both sides.
