Interview with Setsuko Thurlow, Hiroshima bomb survivor
Setsuko Thurlow was 13 years old on the 6th of August 1945 when the first nuclear bomb was ever dropped in anger on another nation. Unlike the vast majority of her classmates, Setsuko survived through the luck of being chosen by the military to work at a Japanese army base a mile or so away from the hypocentre of the detonation.
For our documentary, we understood that at 87 years old this could be one of the last opportunities to capture Setsuko's valuable testimony for future generations who hopefully will never know the horror of nuclear weapons. We spent over an hour with this delightful lady in her home in Toronto where she told us about her childhood in Hiroshima before the war, the day the bomb went off, the experience of going to university and going to the US, her anti-nuclear activism, and the experience of campaigning for the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and the Nobel Peace Prize.

JICA's International Conference on the Consolidation for Peace for Mindanao 6/24/2014
Hiroshima, Tokyo
24 June 2014
...My administration will work doubly hard to ensure that free, peaceful, and democratic elections for the Bangsamoro government will take place come 2016, President Benigno S. Aquino III said in his keynote address at the International Conference on the Consolidation for Peace for Mindanao (COP6) held in Hiroshima, Japan.
Reminiscing the time since that faithful night in August 2011 when President Aquino covertly met with Moro Islamic Liberation Front Chairman Al Haj Murad Ebahim together with the members of the MILF in Japan, it has ushered in a new hope that gave peace talks a renewed start between the government and the MILF.
It is by working together to boost the capacities of the people of the Bangsamoro that we can truly enable them to succeed, and show them that peace, stability, and harmony—whether in Mindanao or in the wider international environment—are both possible and sustainable. This can be done if we can harness trust and friendship towards a reasonable, mutually beneficial consensus, the President said.
President Aquino had also acknowledged the support of the Japanese government not only in providing the venue for the meeting to take place in 2011, but also its continuous aid to uplift the lives of Filipino through development project of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
To date, JICA has reached 6.6 billion pesos coursed through the Japan-Bangsamoro Initiatives for Reconstruction and Development (J-BIRD) which aims to improve human resource development, formulation of development plans and implementation of community development projects.

Hiroshima, Japan - Seventy years after nuclear fireballs exploded over two Japanese cities, an ecumenical group of pilgrims has come to listen to those who survived and renew the struggle against their own countries’ continued reliance on nuclear weapons.

On Hiroshima Anniv. Peacemakers March on Los Alamos Nuclear Weapons Lab, Birthplace of Atomic Bomb
- On the 70th anniversary of the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we are joined by peace activists from across the nation who are convening in Los Alamos, New Mexico, birthplace of the atomic bomb and home to the country’s main nuclear weapons laboratory and the site of ongoing nuclear development. This afternoon, activists will march toward the laboratory’s main entrance calling for nuclear disarmament. We speak with Rev. John Dear, author of The Nonviolent Life and Thomas Merton, Peacemaker. He helped organize this weekend’s Campaign Nonviolence National Conference to mark the 70th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. We’re also joined by the conference’s keynote speaker, Rev. James Lawson, civil rights icon and Holman United Methodist Church pastor emeritus. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. called Lawson the leading theorist and strategist of nonviolence in the world.

WCC Pilgrimage to Hiroshima and Nagasaki: Bishop Mary Ann Swenson
United Methodist Bishop Mary Ann Swenson, who is from the United States, and church leaders from Germany, South Korea, Japan, Norway, Pakistan and the Netherlands – all countries possessing nuclear weapons or living under the United States nuclear umbrella, have come to Japan for a five-day “Pilgrimage of Justice and Peace.” Speaking from Nagasaki, Bishop Mary Ann says: I was moved knowing that it was from my country that the bomb came, and I have seen so much devastation. Earlier this morning we visited with people who were from different countries but were also affected by this bomb: The Korean Christians who were here working as forced labourers and others from other countries who were here, even prisoners of war. So many died when the bomb hit. The lesson learned, for Bishop Mary Ann is: We can have war never again, and we must do everything we can to end nuclear weapons.
