Hiroshima memorial film showing

HIBAKUSHA: In this new fifteen-minute film, Japanese citizen Keiji Tshuchiya uses 12 powerful watercolors which he painted five years ago to tell the story of his experiences in Hiroshima as a 17-year old soldier during the month immediately following the dropping of the atomic bomb. While the film addresses a horrific moment in history, it emphasizes how Mr. Tsuchiya has directed his life towards purpose and healing through his life-long commitments to advocating for the atomic bomb survivors, opposing nuclear war and preserving the Japanese horseshoe crab. Co-produced by Kathy Sloane, photographer, director and editor, and Michele Mason, interpreter (2007).

Also showing, Emiko Omori’s film, “Rabbit in the Moon.”
