The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation hosted a screening of the film “The Postman of Nagasaki,” based on the writing of the 1984 book by Peter Townsend detailing the story of Taniguchi Sumiteru. “The Postman of Nagasaki” tells the story of the impact of the bomb and the legacy of peace left by Peter Townsend, as explored by his daughter, Isabelle Townsend.

Following the screening, we held a panel discussion with filmmaker Isabelle Townsend, Veronique Christory (ICRC), Ivana Nikolić Hughes (NAPF), and Mitchie Takeuchi (A Vow From Hiroshima).
