The Film

Scientist.Seeker.Survivor.

Nagasaki brings to life the extraordinary true story of Dr Takashi Nagai — scientist, seeker and survivor — whose journey from youthful scepticism to profound faith unfolded alongside Japan’s most turbulent era.

Through war, love, loss and the atomic bombing that shattered his city, Takashi emerged with a message that would echo far beyond his lifetime.

A story of transformation, compassion and the light that endures even in humanity’s darkest hour.

A Story Revisited

Restoring the
original vision.

More than a decade after production, Nagasaki has been revisited from the ground up. The original performances remain at its heart, while a new edit, restored imagery, expanded visual effects and a completely new score bring the film closer to the scale and emotional depth first imagined.

This is not a remake. It is a re-edit, a restoration and, in many ways, a rebirth.
