PAPER LANTERNS tells the story of Mori Shigeaki, a Hiroshima-based historian who as a child of seven
experienced the atomic bomb, and his lifelong calling to tell the story of not only the many
Japanese victims of the bombing of Hiroshima, but of 12 American prisoners of war who were also
killed in it.
The film shows how the war impacted families in both countries, and how one man can rise above the
hatred of war and heal the wounds of those terrible days. The director Barry Frechette will be
present, together with producer Peter Grilli and music composer Chad Cannon.
