Summary:
"On the morning of December 6th 1917, the city of
Halifax
, Nova Scotia was a bustling, lively place. But in less than a second,
Halifax
became the center of a tragedy like no other in the history of this country, and of a tragedy unparalleled in the history of this continent. The
Halifax
Harbour
explosion
was the greatest known man-made
explosion
until the advent of the atomic bomb. And yet, outside of Nova Scotia, the story of the
Halifax
explosion
is barely known. City of Ruins constructs a dramatic and moving narrative of the devastating event by intertwining heart-wrenching memories from survivors with archival news footage and still photography. Newsreel cameras rushed to film the search for the living amidst the smoldering ruins, while still cameras recorded the post-explosion wasteland, the faces of the living and the dead, and the re-building of the city of ruins. It is a story of horror, of heroes, and of scapegoats. It is a story of the day the war came home."--Container.
