American University in D.C.

We held a screening at Katzen Center at American University, followed by a panel discussion, with Dr Arjun Makijani (Dir of EEI), Prof. Peter Kaznick (Dir of Nuclear Research Inst.), Mary Dickson (Renowned writer and downwinder), and Dir Ito!

Hosted by the Institute for Energy and Environmental Studies at American University’s Nuclear Research Institute. Ahead of the screening at American University’s Katzen Art Center, Dir Ito was invited to the early dinner/meeting with key persons for this screening event.

Happy reunion with Mary Dixon after a long time! And long-awaited meet and greet with Dir of the Nuclear Research Institute Peter Kaznick, Dir of the Energy and Environment Institute Arjun Makhijani, John Steinbach and others.

75 years ago, on July 16, 1945, the first nuclear test of mankind took place in the United States. Many of the audience who gathered for the screening appeared to be researchers and experts who have been working on nuclear issues for many years. Everyone seemed to be looking forward to this screening, and many opinions and questions were raised during the Q&A session. We would like to express our sincere respect to the two members of the U.S. team who supported Director Ito as interpreters👏👏👏

We were able to talk with people who have a strong awareness of the issues. For instance, there was a question from an American asking if there’s any opposition to the film in Japan.

After the screening ended, some people approached us expressing interest in hosting screenings, and others said they’d like to feature it in magazines.

We handed out postcards for the screening tour and gifting T-shirts to those who organized the events for us.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the day nuclear weapons were created was the day Earth started heading towards annihilation.

We want to continue spreading this message widely in the future.
