A poignant portrayal of history and resilience, an evocative journey into a seldom-heard chapter of human endurance and survival.
Deaf Japanese artist Chisato Minamimura unveils the hidden perspectives of Deaf survivors of the 1945 atomic bombings in Japan.
Known as hibakusha, their stories are vividly brought to life through meticulous research, heartfelt interviews, and original films featuring elderly Deaf individuals who endured the events of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Using innovative technology to reach a range of Deaf and hearing-impaired people, Chisato champions the resilience of this marginalised group, revealing their struggles in the aftermath of the bombings and the ensuing discrimination.
