Film Lens
Atomic Wounds follows Doctor Hida, a 89-year-old survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bomb in 1945, as he continues to care for fellow survivors. The film presents his dedication to the health and well-being of the quarter of a million survivors affected by the bomb.
The documentary also addresses the concealment of radiation dangers by American administrations from the 1950s to the 1970s, which allowed for the unregulated development of nuclear power without regard for public health. This critical perspective on governmental actions provides a historical context to the ongoing impact of atomic warfare.
