| Summary |
60 Years After Hiroshima, Two Films Confront the Dropping of the Bomb Through the Haunting, Life-Affirming Art of Toshi and Iri Maruki. Hiroshima No Pika is an animated film made by Noriaki Tsuchimoto based on the award-winning children's book by the Japanese artist Toshi Maruki. Through Maruki's heart-rending but beautiful water color illustrations, the film tells the story of a young girl and her family who live through the horrific bombing of Hiroshima. While the horror lies in the reality of the story, the beauty of the film's articulation creates a sensitive and affecting movie for children and their parents to engage in together. Narrator Susan Sarandon, a longtime supporter of anti-nuclear war campaigns, lends her talent to this historical yet timely story, inspiring children to remember Hiroshima in the hope that it will never be repeated. |
