The dropping of atomic bombs on two Japanese cities--Hiroshima, on August 6, 1945, and Nagasaki, three days later--was one of the most momentous and destructive moments in world history. Now, eighty years later, this documentary gathers the testimony of some of the last "Hibakusha" survivors of the two atomic bombs before their voices are lost forever. With an average age of 85, most Hibakusha were children when the bombs were dropped. Combining their personal accounts with archive footage, this film captures the experiences of the only people left on Earth to have survived a nuclear bomb while exploring how the event continues to affect them to this day.
