Introduction Katrina Fong Lim, Lord Mayor of Darwin -- Mr Takahashi and other falling secrets -- Act One -- Act Two -- Theatre Program as the end of the paytext.

Darwin 1942 -- WWII: A town collapses under the threat of invasion as bombshells drop on Northern Australia. Mothers and daughters, sisters, friends and entire cultures are torn apart by the secrets that start to fall. Is Mr Takahashi to blame? Japan unleashes a wave of attacks on Northern Australia, and Darwin is hit with more bombs than Pearl Harbour. Mr Takahashi turns the lens upon ordinary people caught in the storm that was World War II. It tells the stories of Darwin's multicultural and Indigenous women whose lives were forever changed by the bombings of February 19. Japan also attacked Cairns and Townsville.
