Moved by her experiences, the students immediately invite Rumi and Yoshiko to come to their public school in NYC to share their story in front of 150 students. Profoundly affected by the first hand account of the devastation caused by the atomic bomb, the students realize the importance of abolishing nuclear weapons. <br><br>The film, in both English and Japanese, will be available for use in classrooms and other public settings, entered in film festivals, and used by peace organizations in USA and in Japan. <br><br>This is a project of <a href="http://www.crosscurrentsinstitute.org/home.htm"><font color="blue">CrossCurrents International Institute</font></a>, a non-profit organization based in Ohio. The documentary will be produced by <a href="http://mdkproductions.com"><font color="blue">Meredith Kaufman</font></a>, filmmaker and producer in NYC. The project, to date, has been a labor of love. All time and work have been donated for the sake of the cause. In order to see this project through to a finished film, we have a budget of $30,000 to pay for editing, sound design, producing, travel expenses, marketing and distribution. Can you help?
