Airing on KAOS: LESSONS FROM HIROSHIMA,
60 YEARS LATER - Hosted by Walter Cronkite, Lessons from
Hiroshima, 60 Years Later takes a riveting look at the history of the A-bomb
and its implications for today.
Opening with the personal stories of two war veterans, one American one
Japanese, Lessons from Hiroshima, 60 Years Later includes the experience of
hibakusha A-bomb survivors who underwent severe injuries and horrendous
family losses, yet harbor remarkably little anger or bitterness. It shares
varied opinions about the bomb, including those of a Japanese war vet who
supported dropping it as the only way to end the war.
The program looks at how the U.S. censored media coverage of the bomb and
its aftermath, and explores how the nuclear arms race defined the Cold War,
documenting several instances in which countries went to the brink of
nuclear war and examining the dangers of nuclear proliferation.
Lessons from Hiroshima ends by revisiting the hibakusha. After struggling
with shame and psychological trauma, many emerged as advocates of peace.
