Summary

The moving, unforgettable stories of Nagasaki and Fukushima survivors. Their stories are interlaced with expert commentary illuminating the largely unknown connection between nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants. Prime focus is on Sakue Shimohira, age 10 and hiding in a shelter when the Nagasaki bomb dropped. At the age of 77, she continues to dedicate her life to the abolition of all nuclear weapons. We see her talking with students in New York and London and with a Holocaust survivor in Paris
