if you’re an analog film/history nerd, wholeheartedly recommend this spectacular NHK documentary on the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake. they re-scanned and remastered 5 hours of footage shot in the aftermath of the earthquake in tokyo in 8K, and then interpolated and colourized it. afterwards, they were able to determine exact shooting locations via photographic reference.

nhk investigative journalism at its best.
