Asharq Documentary and BBC acquire NHK's ‘Kamikaze: An Untold History'
Directed by Takayuki Oshima, the documentary examines Japan's 'kamikaze' attacks on the Pacific front towards the end of WWII. BBC and Arabic-language free-to-air factual channel Asharq Documentary have acquired NHK's documentary Kamikaze: An Untold History. The programme, newly distributed earlier this year by NHK Enterprises to mark 80 years since World War II, forms part of NHK's annual summer programming dedicated to Japan's postwar history. The BBC aired the film at the end of last month, while Asharq's broadcast date is yet to be confirmed. The documentary explores the kamikaze missions carried out by Japan's imperial armed forces during the final months of the Pacific War. These suicide attacks, in which aircraft were deliberately flown into enemy targets, were launched with no expectation of return. Over a span of ten months, until the last day of the war, thousands of young pilots were sent to their deaths. In total, around 4,000 crew members lost their lives in the operations, which gripped the nation in a fervor that remains difficult to comprehend. Drawing on 15 years of extensive research, the film incorporates interviews with former US and Japanese military personnel, expert analysis and archival materials. It also makes use of a detailed 'hometown map,' created to honour and document each life lost, offering a deeply human perspective on the tragedy. Directed by Takayuki Oshima, the documentary investigates the origins, psychology and impact of the kamikaze missions. Oshima, who has spent more than a decade examining the subject, said the film aims to reveal the universal lessons of this dark chapter in history. 'Eighty years have passed since the end of World War II, yet conflicts continue to erupt, political tensions between nations persist, and events that seem almost 'insane' keep unfolding around the world. However, behind these 'insane' acts lies the same species—Homo sapiens. By exploring the kamikaze missions in depth, I hope that this documentary offers a lens through which we can examine universal truths that resonate today. I would be truly grateful if we could reflect on these truths together with people around the world.' With its blend of historical insight, personal testimony, and rigorous research, Kamikaze: An Untold History offers a sobering examination of one of World War II's most haunting legacies.
