Anime and Kickstarter fans as well as people learning more about the horrific atomic bomb attacks during WWII should listen up, as a Kickstarter page has been created in an attempt to raise $2,000 for the film Hibakusa, an animated documentary/drama featuring Kaz Suyeishi, an 84 year old woman who recalls her experiences as an 18 year old Japanese American student during the morning of August 6, 1945. Mrs. Suyeishi will delve into three particular moments in Hiroshima that affected her throughout the course of her life.
ChannelAPA.com (and 8Asians contributor!) Steve Nguyen & Daisuke Suzuki are attached to direct the film and acclaimed animator & music video director Choz Belen is set to animate the film.
Inspired to bring awareness to the Hiroshima & Nagasaki bombings in hopes that nothing like this will ever happen again and over time, they hope to release the film on August 6, 2011, when the 66th commemoration of the Hiroshima & Nagasaki bombings will take place.
