Hiroshima
Shaun Kerry, M.D.

A
magnificent film with a powerful lesson. It portrays
characters in both Washington and Tokyo and gives a deeper insight into
their attempts to either end or prolong the war.
People frequently have little control
over the selection of their government officials, and even less control
over the actions of those officials. |
 |
 |
A handful of people in the government often
make monumental decisions which impact or destroy the lives
of millions. |
|
 |
|
People in government often communicate
poorly and make outrageous errors in judgment.
Mindlessness and lack of empathy go
hand in hand.
Motion pictures
can portray the nuances of character and personality in such
a way that no other media can, while at the same time being both
entertaining and enlightening. Try to rent this superb film from
your local video store. If it is unavailable, try the following

Over fifty years
have elapsed since the second World War, and still, we have
not solved the fundamental problems that are portrayed in this film.
When considering issues of this magnitude, one's first impulse might be
to blame somebody. But blaming people or nations doesn't solve the
problem. We have to take a deeper look at the structure of our
government, and also, a critical look at the way in which our
educational system impacts the development of character.
