Be a part of the ongoing story of Hiroshima by helping to raise funds for this one-hour documentary film exploring the 65 year-old relationship between All Souls Unitarian Church and Honkawa Elementary School.

Symbolized by the children's drawings, this simple exchange represented one small bridge between warring nations that helped facilitate the friendship we now enjoy and instilled in many the persistent hope of a peaceful future, free of the horrors endured in August 1945.

You can help spread this message of hope by donating to this film through the project's fiscal sponsor, Class Acts Arts.

With the support of the US/Japan Foundation and generous private donors, we have already acquired amazing footage at both the school in Hiroshima and the church in DC, along with personal interviews with the living artists. Yet the story is still unfolding and we need to be there with cameras as it does! Not to mention editing!
