MEMORIES OF A HIBAKUSHA
A 7-episode sound fiction inspired by true events
High in the sky over Tinian Island, Robert Lewis, the co-pilot of the B-29 Enola Gay, cried out in 1945: "What have we done? Even if I live to be a hundred years old, I will always remember these few minutes."
At an altitude of 580 meters and after 43 seconds of free fall, seven hundred grams of uranium 235 entered into fission in the heart of Little Boy. On the ground, more than one hundred thousand people died instantly from the explosion and burns, or from radiation a few weeks later.
Le 9 août 1945, Nagasaki connaissait le même tragédie. Ce fut les deux seules explosions nucléaires sur des villes à ce jour. Quelques secondes avaient suffit pour enlever la vie à plus de deux cent mille innocents.
Découvrez cette fiction sonore inspirée de faits historiques avérés, les personnages et les dialogues ont été imaginés à partir de témoignages écrits ou oraux des Hibakushas, ces personnes victimes des bombardements atomiques au Japon, d’archives internationales et d’articles de presse écrits après l’explosion de la bombe nucléaire d’Hiroshima.
