"They didn't care about us… they were there to sink the ships." Abramorama has released an official trailer for a restored WWII footage documentary titled Apocalypse '45, the latest film directed by acclaimed doc filmmaker Erik Nelson (Dinotasia, A Gray State, The Cold Blue). Nelson found in archives and restored in 4K tons of old footage and news reels from World War II. Apocalypse '45 uses the pristine raw, color film footage to tell a chilling narrative of the last months of the War in the Pacific. It documents events from the flag raising at Iwo Jima to the harrowing kamikaze attacks and vicious ground combat at Okinawa in April to the first test of the atomic bomb in the remote deserts of New Mexico in July. In addition, we witness the air war over Japan the summer of '45, and perhaps most astonishingly, the still burning ruins of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, when a U.S. Army medical camera crew was sent to photograph the devastation to both the city and its inhabitants. A new entry in the subgenre of old footage restored to give us a new look at the past. ›››
