Paper Lanterns plot
Few know that among the estimated 140,000 victims of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima were 12 American prisoners of war, who were being held at Hiroshima Military Police Headquarters after being shot from the sky a few months earlier. For decades, many of these Americans' families were never informed of the fate of their loved ones. Thanks to the efforts of Shigeaki Mori, the names of these twelve are now included in the Hiroshima Peace Museum and the relatives have discovered the truth. This documentary tells his story and his dream to reach the relatives of these lost pilots.
