- Synopsis
- At 89, Doctor Hida, a survivor of the 1945 atomic bomb at Hiroshima, continues to care for some of the other quarter of a million survivors. Atomic Wounds retraces his dedicated journey and highlights how the terrible danger of radiation was concealed by successive American administrations in the 50's - 70's so that nuclear power could be freely developed, with no concern for public health.
On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped the first atomic bomb to be used in war on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The five-ton bomb instantly razed down four square miles area and killed over 80,000 people. Three days later, the US dropped another atomic bomb on Nagasaki which killed 40,000 people more. The long-term effects of the nuclear radiation have been disastrous for the survivors. The US administration had, however, successfully concealed much of these reactions and dangers through the following decades, in an attempt to pursue development of nuclear arms without any opposition. "Atomic Wounds" explores this concealment and lays bare the suffering of the Japanese survivors in a heart wrenching tale.
