Abstract:

As the fighting of WWII became more desperate, Japan’s Emperor Hirohito called up a new breed of fighter, given the creative rank of "god" : the suicide bomber known as the Kamikaze. Get closer than ever before to their devastating attacks, through rare footage shot by cameramen who narrowly escaped the horror. See why these human weapons became so feared that they played a critical role in the U.S. decision to drop the atomic bomb.
