The last of three films: Nagasaki
Here the missionaries first made land-fall in Japan - and here the Christian faith still flourishes in an otherwise Buddhist country. To Nagasaki came the first Dutch traders - and continued to do so while the rest of Japan sealed itself off from the outside world But the rich past was eclipsed by the cataclysmic events of 9 August 1945 when a plutonium bomb was exploded above the city.
