THE VOW FROM HIROSHIMA

Director Susan Strickler’s intimate portrait of Setsuko Thurlow, the passionate anti-nuclear arms activitist and survivor of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. At 13 years old, Setsuko was miraculously pulled from a fiery building after the bombing but 27 of her classmates perished. She dedicated her life to keeping a pledge she made to her friends - that no one should ever again experience the same horrible fate. Her story is told through the lens of her friendship with a second-generation survivor, Mitchie Takeuchi and follows Setsuko through decades of activism: to the Nobel Prize stage and ultimately the moment she finally achieves her dream of a Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty.
