2025 marks 80 years since the atomic bombing, yet around the world today, conflicts continue to rage.
In 2024, the average age of the hibakusha (atomic bomb survivors) was over 85, meaning that it is now more important than ever that we ensure their words reach the next generation.
Driven by the desire to share the history of Hiroshima and the atomic bombing with the world, Hiroshima-based broadcast company RCC has created a three-part video series in English about the devastation caused by the atomic bomb which incorporates first-hand accounts from hibakusha.
May the voices of the hibakusha reach the world, and in doing so, help prevent another nuclear tragedy.
