			The Last Atomic Bomb

by Robert Richter and Kathleen Sullivan

The Last Atomic Bomb is a wake-up call about nuclear proliferation, interweaving current and archival footage with the still controversial U.S. decision to use the bomb, censorship, discrimination and the Cold War build-up of nuclear weapons.

The Last Atomic Bomb challenges assumptions as it re-lives the 1945 nuclear bombing of Nagasaki from the rarely seen perspective of a survivor. The survivor, Sakue Shimohira, shares her devastating yet inspirational life with a holocaust survivor and with today's students carrying on her legacy.

One of the film 's most powerful moments is when Mrs. Shimohira describes her sister' s suicide ten years after the bomb, as "the courage to die." The survivor, Mrs. Shimohira, found "the courage to live" and to dedicate her life to abolishing nuclear weapons. We follow her and two committed college students as they talk with U.S., British and Japanese students, and as they invite Presidents Bush and Chirac and Prime Minister Blair to visit Nagasaki.
