The Priest Who Blessed the Bomb

This haunting film portrays the events in Hiroshima on 6th August 1945, and follows the thoughts of Father George Zabelka a Roman Catholic priest who gave the crew of the plane that dropped the atomic bomb a Christian blessing before they took off on that fateful day. Over the years Zabelka came to believe that he had made a terrible mistake in lending moral and religious support to what he called the greatest terrorist act in Christian history. The film ends with survivors of the bombing pleading for an end to nuclear weapons.
