Documentary film: Paper Lanterns-Film Sceening

The true story of 12 American POWs killed at Hiroshima in 1945 and the Japanese Hibakusha who refused to let them be forgotten. A story of humanity, reconciliation, friendship, and peace. With the Nobel Peace Prize being awarded to Nihon Hidankyo, the Japanese Hibakusha of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we hope this event will honor their unwavering efforts for a world without nuclear weapons.

The film Paper Lanterns is based on the inspiring story of Shigeaki Mori, a Japanese atomic bomb survivor from Hiroshima who has dedicated his life to telling the stories of twelve American prisoners of war (POWs) who were killed by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion with producer Nobuko Saito Cleary and CNS Director Dr. William Potter, moderated by Jean du Preez, CNS. This event aims to promote the importance of disarmament, nonproliferation, and peace building among the audience, especially the youth.
