The Museum of Photographic Arts (MoPA) in Balboa Park is proud to present a special screening of the documentary film The Last Atomic Bomb, directed by Robert Richter. The film screens in MoPA's Joan & Irwin Jacobs Theater on August 9, 2007, at 7:00 PM, and commemorates the 62nd anniversary of the Nagasaki, Japan atomic bombing on August 9, 1945.
This new feature documentary presents today's nuclear proliferation discussion through the perspective of Nagasaki bomb survivor, Sakue Shimohira. The Last Atomic Bomb interweaves Shimohira's life story with larger political themes, as she wages a personal campaign to abolish nuclear weapons. The film challenges the widely held assumption that the Nagasaki bomb was essential to end World War II and links across generations as two college students join Shimohira in her awareness campaign.
