Hiroshima Day AngryAussie 2023-08-06 | It was almost 80 years ago that the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima killing tens of thousands of civilians. Now it seems that some people in Japan are upset that there's a film about Oppenheimer. But we always make media about bad people and bad events.
