At 8:15am on August 6, 1945, Shinji Mikamo, a teen in the center of Hiroshima City, was on the roof of his home when the atomic bomb exploded.

This hybrid documentary narrative film (English with Japanese subtitles) features never before seen audio and video recordings, archival images, and evocative reenactments — “bringing the past into the present.” (Modern Times Review)
