Narrated by George Takei, Message From Hiroshima provides an inside look at life and culture in Hiroshima before the first atomic bomb was dropped. The city's former Nakajima district, where the Hon and Motoyasu Rivers meet, is now the location of the Peace Memorial Park, a reminder of the devastating effects of the bomb. Director Masaaki Tanabe aims to revive the memory of what once was by interviewing hibakusha and former residents, along with computer-generated recreations of daily life, including restaurants, shops, and landmarks like the Industrial Promotion Hall.
