(Warning: Viewer Discretion Advised)
Today, I want to share my latest work with you: "Hiroshima," a short film about one of the most important moments in history – a moment that must never be forgotten. With the looming threat of nuclear war, I hope this film will serve as a stark reminder of the devastation that awaits us if such an event is ever repeated.

00:00We have spent more than two billion dollars on the greatest scientific gamble in history.
00:13It is an atomic bomb. It is a harnessing of the basic power of the universe. With this bomb,
00:22we have now added a new and revolutionary increase in destruction. That bomb has more
00:29power than 20,000 tons of TNT. We shall destroy their dumps, their factories, and their communications.
00:40Let there be no mistake. We shall completely destroy Japan's power to make war.

08:22a weapon that would win the war, and it did.
08:24That's what I was interested in.
