Many have never heard the story about

what really happened under the 

“mushroom cloud”

Nuclear secrecy and historical silences

Understanding  the impact on people,

animals, lands, and water

Setsuko Thurlow’s commitment to human rights and helping humanity turn away from nuclear weapons is a crucial part of the story of the new global Treaty on the Prohibition of  Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). 

"A moving, intelligent and perceptive documentary that reveals both the horror of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the gallant efforts of two survivors."

Martin J. Sherwin

Co-author of American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer, on which Christopher Nolan’s 2023 film, “Oppenheimer” was based
