The atomic bombing of civilians at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan
by the United
States occurred August 6th and 9th, 1945. This was the only time that
these
weapons of mass destruction have been used in human history.
The film is about Sadako Sasaki, a young Japanese girl, on the
threshold of
adolescence, who developed leukemia in 1955, from the effects of
radiation
caused by the bombing of Hiroshima. While hospitalized, her closest
friend
reminded her of the Japanese legend that if she folded a thousand
paper
cranes, the gods might grant her wish to be well again. With hope and
determination, Sadako began folding.
Liv Ullmann vividly tells this poignant story with original music
performed by
George Winston. The action is presented as the camera moves through
hundreds
of exquisite pastel drawings by Caldecott Award-winning artist, Ed
Young.
August 19th (*Note change of date)
Next general membership meeting
Busse Library Viewing Room, Mount Mercy College
7 pm
Speaker: Clark Rieke- How runoff elections would eliminate the
debilitating spoiler issue and give third parties a chance to earn
credibility.

Another reminder that I'd like to send out to everyone is the Women's
Equality Day celebration to be held on Tuesday, August 26th. This is the
same night as our general meeting, I believe. I have tickets. You will
want to be there.
