- Summary:
- "Susumu Misaki, Matashichi Oishi, and Masaho Ikeda's story of Daigo Fukuryu comes to life as animators recreate their encounter with a new American weapon. The detonation of Castle Bravo on March 1st, 1954, had dire consequences, not only for the 23 fishermen aboard the Lucky Dragon No. 5, but also for U.S.-Japan relations and the global search for peace. 65 years later, the fishermen's stories remain relavant."--DVD's case.
- "Day of the Western Sunrise is a Japanese-language (with English subtitles) animated documentary following three surviving fishermen from the tuna trawler Daigo Fukuryu Maru, or the Lucky Dragon No. 5. Created with a mix of animation and live-action, the second full-length documentary produced by Daliborka Films, Day of the Western Sunrise introduces us to the forgotten story of the Lucky Dragon, the Castle Bravo nuclear tests, and the damage and devastation still felt in Japan 65 years later."--Publisher's web site http://daliborkafilms.com/, viewed 8/15/19.
