Now, 80 years later, ATOMIC PEOPLE presents the testimony of some of the last “Hibakusha” — the Japanese term for survivors of the two atomic bombs — before their voices are lost forever. With an average age of 85, the Hibakusha were children when the bombs were dropped. Combining their devastating personal recollections with archival footage, ATOMIC PEOPLE is an invaluable record of the only people left on Earth to have survived a nuclear bomb and a moving account of how their experiences shaped the rest of their lives.
