2015 April / Hibakusha Stories Afternoon Session 4/5 Cinema Forum Fukushima 2016-01-09 | Afternoon Session Presentation bySetsuko Thurlow, Hiroshima A-Bomb SurvivorHD, 23min 15sec, in Englishat Japan Society, April 28, 2015 in New York CityPresented byJapan Society, Hibakusha Stories, Youth Arts New York, Peace BoatVideo Prepared byEast River Films IncAbout Setsuko Thurlow:As a 13-year old schoolgirl, Setsuko Thurlow found herself in close proximity to the hypocenter of the atomic blast that rocked Hiroshima. A survivor of one of the most pivotal events in modern history, she displayed great courage and leadership, sharing her experiences in order to sensitize people to the consequences of armed conflict on civilian populations and to promote lasting peace.She worked in Toronto for decades as a social worker in a number of agencies including the Toronto Board of Education and she established the Japanese Family Services of Metropolitan Toronto, serving Japanese-speaking immigrants. In addition she contributed to breaking the silence of people around the world concerning nuclear issues and initiated many anti-nuclear activities.“The first day of Setsuko Thurlow’s school visits, to Flushing High School in Queens, New York City’s oldest public high school, she arrived halfway into the session. The car service that was to pick her up in central Brooklyn never arrived. She hailed a car in the driving rain and the driver had no idea where she was going. She left that car and, with the aid of a friendly policeman she spotted nearby, she was put in a car that found its way to Flushing. Without skipping a beat, this 78 year-old woman began interacting with a group of 120 students. When it was discovered that not only was she a member of the church of Reverend Tanimoto but that he had convinced her parents that it was okay to marry a non-Japanese man and he an officiant of the service, there were audible gasps. Many of the students had read John Hersey’s Hiroshima and Reverend Tanimoto was one of the central figures in that historic narrative of the bombing that, to this day, remains one of the most widely read accounts of the bombing of Hiroshima. History came alive at Flushing High School that day.“As a young member of the church of Reverend Tanimoto, Setsuko served as an interpreter for Dr. Norman Cousins, the editor of the influential Saturday Review. One evening during the programming of May, 2010, Setsuko Thurlow and Shigeko Sasamori and several other hibakusha had dinner at the home of Sally and Bob Silverberg, Norman Cousins’ nephew and Shigeko’s cousin.“Setsuko said, ‘I want here and now to thank the Cousins family. We will be forever grateful for the tremendous contribution Dr. Cousins made in the rebuilding of Hiroshima and for his great concern for and contribution to the humanitarian and human dimensions of the suffering of hibakusha.’ Dr. Cousins was a graduate of Theodore Roosevelt High School in the Bronx. It is our wish that the students we touch will be moved to greatness as exemplified by these two great global citizens.“The Hibakusha Stories Family honors the life Ms. Thurlow’s husband James M. Thurlow, who passed on April 5, 2011. Without his support she could not have done half of what she has done with her life. His love and devotion spanned decades and cultures and has been an inspiration to us all.” – Robert Croonquist
2015 April / Hibakusha Stories Afternoon Session 3/5 Cinema Forum Fukushima 2016-01-09 | Afternoon Session Presentation byYasuaki Yamashita, Nagasaki A-Bomb SurvivorHD, 17min 45sec, in Englishat Japan Society, April 28, 2015 in New York CityPresented byJapan Society, Hibakusha Stories, Youth Arts New York, Peace BoatVideo Prepared byEast River Films IncAbout Yasuaki Yamashita:“When the A-Bomb fell on Nagasaki, August 9, 1945, I was 6 years old and living there with my family in a typical Japanese-style wooden frame house with sliding interior partitions (shoji) and exterior glass windows. Normally on a hot summer day I would go to the mountain with friends of my age to catch dragon flies and cicadas. However, on this day I was playing at home. Nearby my mother was preparing the mid-day meal. Suddenly, at precisely 11:02, we were blinded by an intense light like 1,000 simultaneous flashes of lightening. My mother pushed me to the ground and covered me with her body. We heard the roar of a great wind and flying debris of the house collapsed on top of us. Then there was silence.“Our house was 2.5 km. (1.5 miles) from the epicenter. My sister who was in another part of the house was cut by flying splinters of glass. A playmate who went to the mountain that day was exposed to the great blast of heat caused by the detonation of the bomb. His body was badly burned and he died a few days later. My father was recruited to help clean up the destruction in the center of Nagasaki. At the time we didn’t know about the dangers of radiation that would later cause his death.“The A-Bomb had turned the center of Nagasaki into an inferno of death and devastation. Communications and transportation were disrupted. There was no food in the city and we were starving. One week after the explosion we walked through the rubble of the city center where fires still burned on our way to the countryside where relatives would share what little food they had. Some years later I worked in the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Hospital. It was very painful to see the survivors still suffering from the effects of burns and radiation.“Since moving to Mexico in 1968, I have accepted many invitations to speak about my A-Bomb experience at various institutions. These have included schools, universities, cultural centers, a committee of the Mexican Senate, and the San Diego Museum of Photographic Arts. In 2010 I gave my testimony at a memorial ceremony organized by the Mexico City Government on the occasion of the 65th Anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki Atomic Bombs. I feel that it is important to keep alive the memory of the suffering, devastation, and death that nuclear weapons can cause in the hope that no one will ever use them again. I worry because each year there are fewer and fewer people still alive who can speak about this memory from personal experience.”

Kanter's illness on the day, Mr. Meyer gave his presentation for him.Dr. Kanter's Powerpoint slides are available here:dropbox.com/sh/vevdspyg6375081/AACkb-EEofIs919PVsdqXxxDa2014, March 10, Monday, 4:30PM to 6PMat the Armenia Convention Center, NYCHuman Rights Now, Physicians for Social Responsibility & Women in Europe for a Common Future present:What: Almost three years have passed since March 11, 2011, when the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami caused structural damage to the TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, resulting in a massive leakage of radioactive materials into the environment. Today, the TEPCO still does not know how to stop the ongoing radioactive leaks from its facilities. Residents are entitled to live in a safe and healthy environment, however, sufficient protective measures and supports are not provided in contaminated areas, and the rights to access to medical treatment and to know about one’s own body have been seriously denied.Similar nuclear disasters could happen again so long as we have nuclear power plants, nuclear facilities and nuclear weapons. The Fukushima nuclear accident teaches us that nuclear energy is not sustainable, and that such a disaster cannot respect the environment or the right to health of the most vulnerable. Furthermore, we have learned that contamination from a nuclear disaster can affect beyond national borders, yet we do not have an international framework on the accountability of private companies, which are responsible for nuclear accidents. The international community also needs to continue to discuss the possible long-term health risks associated with low dose radiation exposure, and implement an effective international coordination and response system, to minimize the consequences of nuclear accidents.A human rights expert from Japan, an environmental and women’s activist from Europe, and a physician/health expert on radiation and nuclear related issues from the U.S. will speak about how to protect environment and health of women and girls from radiation exposure, and the importance of implementing lessons learnt from the Fukushima nuclear accident in a discussion on global health and environment as part of the Post-2015 Agenda. PHYSICIANS FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR), the U.S. affiliate of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) advocates for sound public health policies regarding exposure to radioactive and other toxic materials. PSR is the medical and public health voice working to prevent the use of and to abolish nuclear weapons, to promote safe, non-nuclear energy, and to slow, stop and reverse global warming and the toxic degradation of the environment. Fukushima presents an immediate challenge to protect those individuals most endangered by exposure to dangerous levels of radioactivity, and to adequately and openly track the health consequences of the ongoing irradiation of populations. PSR was founded in 1961 and was instrumental in achieving the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty that ended the global radioactive contamination produced by atmospheric nuclear bomb testing. PSR shared in the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), for building public pressure to push their governments to end the nuclear arms race.

As a part of the HRN activity, she recently participated in fact-finding missions to Fukushima in December 2013 and February 2014. She played an important role in coordinating meetings of Mr. Anand Grover (UN Special Rapporteur on right to health) with Japanese civil societies and evacuees affected by the Fukushima nuclear accident, during Mr. Grover's visit to Japan in November 2012.CO-SPONSORING ORGANIZATIONS: HUMAN RIGHTS NOW: Human Rights Now (HRN), an international NGO in consultative status with the ECOSOC, is based in Tokyo with several hundreds of members composed of lawyers, scholars, journalists and concerned citizens. In July 2011, on behalf of a coalition of civil society groups in Japan, Human Rights Now requested the Office of United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) for a Special Rapporteur to investigate the human rights situation after the disaster. In response to the request, Mr. Anand Grover, the Special Rapporteur on the right to health, visited Japan in November 2012. In December 2012, HRN submitted a joint statement, endorsed by more than 70 civil societies in Japan and worldwide, urging the IAEA and the Japanese government to take a rights-based approach in response to the nuclear disaster based on the preliminary findings and recommendations issued by Mr. Grover in November. To raise awareness of the situation in Fukushima after the nuclear accident, HRN NY has organized human rights seminars and a press conference to inform the international community about the ongoing crisis.

Fundraising Party: the Yangdaora art therapy project for children from Fukushima Cinema Forum Fukushima 2013-11-28 | 2013 Fundraising Gala and Benefit Art AuctionHD, 3 min 9 sec, in EnglishNovember 24th 2013The Jane Hotel Ballroom, NYCThe Yangdaora Art Therapy Project for Children from FukushimaPlease Donate / http://igg.me/at/todayisthedayThe Yangdaora Project is about offering a residential art therapy retreat for Fukushima's children in Singapore, working in partnership with The Red Pencil Foundation. Based in Singapore, this humanitarian charity provides Art Therapy for children who are experiencing overwhelming situations, worldwide. Evacuation from the contaminated land is essential for those children to lead a healthy life, but many families are struggling to do so due to a lack of financial and emotional resources. Our long-term goal is to provide this retreat to as many Fukushima children as possible. We are determined to do so by involving the community in Fukushima and supporters around the world, throughout the project. By doing so, we can help connect Fukushima with the world and raise global awareness of this devastating situation. It is our hope that this will also help them to get enough support for relocation to a safe environment, before its too late. Today Is The Day is is a visionary foundation based in Hiroshima Japan. It's goal will be to reveal consciousness as the starting point of every person's awareness. Through its activities using the forms of art, music, dance, performance, lecture, video, film, and workshop, the foundation will pursue its purpose: to inspire an art of free will and autonomy. It will channel awareness into asking questions and building visions. Those visions will reveal a new system of personal and collective thoughts and actions, which will gradually counteract phenomena currently damaging the quality of life on earth. The foundation works from a belief that it is the artist's calling to inspire a revival of the life-enhancing dynamisim of consciousnes. The Foundation's purpose, in addition, is to create and put into practice an ontological vision that transcends the structures and workings of existing systems. This follows from a belief that it is in art's nature to explore the function of free will and to transcend contrivance in order to construct a social model that allows human existence to stand on its own.Violin: Naomi Kimfilmed & edited by East River Films, Incadditional cinematography: Jung Woo Lee

There are serious concerns about consequent health effects for pregnant women, mothers, children and others in contaminated areas. Residents have a right to live in a safe and healthy environment, however, sufficient protective measures and support are not being provided. The right to access medical treatment and the medical data about one's own body are being seriously denied. A human rights expert from Japan, a medical doctor from Japan, and a medical doctor from the U.S. will speak about how the lives and health of local women, children and others in the Fukushima area are being affected after the disaster and what should be done to provide immediate relief. The actions called for in the December 15, 2012 Human Rights Now "Civil Society Statement" to immediately implement the recent recommendations by the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to health will be highlighted.Filmed & Edited by East River Films Inc2013 All Rights Reserved by East River Films Inc
