Bullfrog Films presents…The Vow From Hiroshima from Bullfrog Films on Vimeo.
The Reel & Meal film series will screen “The Vow from Hiroshima” (shortly after the anniversary of the first dropping of the atomic bomb in Japan) both in-person (Registration required for zoom at https://tinyurl.com/ReelnMealAug15). The film is FREE. 7pm.
The film is about a passionate 85-year-old survivor of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, weaving her story into that of her growing friendship with a second-generation survivor. Directed by Susan Strickler, the film explores the global dangers of nuclear weapons and the survivor’s activism on the issue, culminating in her receipt of the 2017 Nobel Peace Awards. An update adds an epilogue about the ratification and enactment of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which entered into force last year, January 22, 2021.
Discussion will follow the screening, led by Arjun Makhijani, president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research. Over the past twenty years he has conducted many studies on nuclear fuel, nuclear weapons production and testing, and nuclear waste.
A short extra activity is planned for those at the Café – a lesson on folding paper cranes, the traditional peace symbol.
Meals can be purchased at the Cafe from its regular menu (that includes several vegan options.) Online attendees are encouraged to buy the Meatless Monday meal from the Greenbelt Co-op – local favorite Dodah’s Kitchen Lasagna – from the “grab & go” side of its hot food case. Priced at $7.99, it will be available from 11am until the Co-op closes at 9pm.
This month’s film is sponsored by Peace and Justice. For more information on the series see the Reel and Meal Facebook page – www.facebook.com/reelandmealNDC. For more on this month’s event see FB link https://fb.me/e/2HWVEn6D5 or contact Lucy Duff at lucyduff@comcast.net.
