This program is based on that original movie and Tanabe's body of work as well as NHK's Hiroshima Broadcasting Center records and testimonials to create an updated and reworked version of the original movie. In the hope of reinforcing the uselessness of war and the desire among people for peace, NHK WORLD presents a new take on the events of August 6, 1945 in the actual words and drawings of the few people left that survived to tell their story.
