8:15 Hiroshima, was produced by Akiko Mikamo, the daughter of a hibakusha (nuclear bomb survivor), to illustrate her father’s remarkable true story, message for peace and vision for a world without nuclear weapons.
“My father told me, ‘I don’t want anybody else to ever have to go through the agony of another nuclear war,’ and asked me to spread his message to younger generations throughout the world,” said Dr. Akiko Mikamo, Executive Producer of 8:15 Hiroshima and Author of 8:15 – A True Story of Survival and Forgiveness from Hiroshima. https://815hiroshima.com
8:15 Hiroshima’s timely global screening will occur during the month of the First Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference being held at the United Nations – and amidst the heightened potential for nuclear war.
“The world is closer to the use of nuclear weapons out of desperation—or by accident or miscalculation—than at any time since the early 1980s. As Russian President Putin has ordered his nation’s nuclear forces to go on heightened alert, the West has been warned that any interference with the invasion of Ukraine would have ‘consequences that you have never experienced in your history.’ Suddenly, the unthinkable seems possible again.”- Tom Nichols (The Atlantic)
