Lanterns of Memory

A short film by Velcrow Ripper.

August 6, 2000. The anniversary of the day we dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Thousands of glowing paper lanterns are floated on the river, each commemorating a person or persons who died in the blast. A survivor describes what she saw and expresses her wish that this never happen again. Woven throughout, the words of Martin Luther King Jr. ask us: why should we love our enemies?
