| Summary |
"A poignant, eye-opening portrait of a witness to the atomic bomb who dedicated his life to treating and advocating for radiation survivors. As a young doctor, Shuntaro Hida (1917-2017) played an essential role in the aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing, which he witnessed firsthand only 6 kilometers from ground zero. Tending to the overwhelming number of victims, he would spend more than 60 years developing an unparalleled understanding of the harmful effects of radiation and warning against the reckless use of nuclear power"-- |
