女子高生と焼夷弾 あの日の記憶が消えないうちに [RAB]

|Length : 49 |Year : 2017

In April 2015, a high school drama club advisor asks the club members, “Do you know what happened on July 28?” It is the day of the bombing of Aomori 70 years ago. And he suggests they write a drama about it.
Shino, who raised her hand and volunteered to write the screenplay, decides to visit the home of a club member’s grandmother who survived the air raids. She is overwhelmed by the tragedy and horror. She had once thought she had no connection with the war, but she decides to learn more.
Then in 2016, the students get the opportunity to appear in a national competition with a play based on the Aomori air raids. The competition is held in Hiroshima, the site of an atomic bombing in World War II. Visiting Hiroshima for the first time, the club members consider the similarities between the indiscriminate horror that occurred there and the Aomori air raids.
