Appreciation - The Tomiko Morimoto West Story

 

USA, 2022, Directors: Michael Dwyer, Chuck Gomez, Producer: Michael Dwyer, Documentary, English, 20 min. Subtitles in Portuguese.

 

Tomiko Morimoto West watched from her schoolyard as a low-flying B-29 dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, killing her mother and other family members. Thirteen-year-old Tomiko searched the devastated city for the body of her grandfather to save him the injustice of a mass burial, cremating him under mountain tree branches. She went on to marry an American GI, become a professor at Vassar College, and at age 90 has only one wish: that world leaders work together for global peace.

 

Michael Dwyer studied film at Bard College and SUNY Purchase. He works by day as a graphic designer but his heart is tied to art with a mission and social cause behind it.

The widely-acclaimed 2021 film Atomic Cover-up is the first documentary to explore the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 from the unique perspective, words and startling images of the brave cameramen and directors who risked their lives filming in the irradiated aftermath. It reveals how this historic footage, created by a Japanese newsreel crew and then an elite U.S. Army team (who shot the only color reels), was seized, classified top secret, and then buried by American officials for decades to hide the full human costs of the bombings as a dangerous nuclear arms race raged. All the while, the producers of the footage made heroic efforts to find and expose their shocking film, to reveal truths of the atomic bombings that might halt nuclear proliferation. Atomic Cover-up represents, at least in part, the film they were not allowed to make, as well as a tribute to documentarians everywhere.

'Blowing in the Wind' explores present-day activist efforts to amend the ‘Radiation Exposure Compensation Act’ to include Guåhan (Guam) as a jurisdiction of ‘downwinders’ resulting from American nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands. The film’s primary focus is military veteran Robert Celestial who founded and fronts the Pacific Association of Radiation Survivors group based in Guåhan. This group are the primary activists advocating for Guåhan’s recognition as a ‘downwinder’ since 2004. Celestial—who is present via only his voice and the sense of an unfolding back and forth conversation—takes viewers on a journey that covers his participation in building the Runit Dome, disbelief, fighting for retribution and hope. The film uses present-day filming and archival footage. The latter includes material from an informational Civil Defence film on the dangers of radioactive fallout; along with footage from two United States Atomic Energy Commission and University of Washington (Laboratory of Radiation Biology) research trips to Bikini, as well as US Air Force documentation of Marshall Islands testing. The footage functions to corroborate the experiences that Celestial speaks of while also alluding to how scientific knowledge was privileged over human life. The present-day filming includes abstract imagery of chemiluminescence (a scientific process used in DNA testing) and flashing lights. This imagery creates a kind of embodied reflective contemplation, and is also suggestive of the invisible poisoning that is ionizing radiation. It also privileges opacity and invisibility meaning the visuality is not necessarily obviously ‘nuclear’. As such, this film’s central focus concerns questioning how to socio-ethically image and bear witness to the realities of what it means to live on lands and oceans contaminated by nuclear fallout. There is a focus on transgenerational justice concerning the history of US nuclear testing in the Pacific and the ongoing quest for nuclear atonement. Website: http://fionaamundsen.com/works/blowing-in-the-wind/

DEMON MINERAL is a documentary about life in the radioactive desert of the Navajo Reservation in the American Southwest. Spanning a landscape perforated by uranium mines, the film follows a group of indigenous scientists, engineers, and activists as they work to secure a vital living space in the Navajo Nation. It is an anti-Western exploring the legacy of uranium mining in Diné Bikeyah, the sacred homelands of the Navajo. There, 523 unremediated mines scatter across an area the size of West Virginia. Water, air, traditions, and livelihoods have been threatened by contamination for the last four generations. Some Diné adhere to the tenets in the following origin story: there is a demon who lives in the earth. He is content enough there, and will bother no-one unless disturbed, having been laid there by a formidable warrior. Uranium, for millions of years to come, is perhaps this demon made real.

In Japan, August 2023, countless harmful substances are discharged into the sea along with nuclear contaminated water. A power plant worker involved in the discharge process frequently faces ostracism and violent harassment from those around him. Unable to bear the humiliation any longer, he decides to end it all at home. However, when he wakes up from his dream, he realizes that he is actually a government employee. Everything that had happened seemed like just a dream. Due to the irresponsible discharge actions by the local authorities, a tidal wave of public opinion has manifested as piles of complaints and protest materials. He is forced to work overtime to "handle" this public opinion and has been working continuously for several days. Just as he finishes "handling" the last complaint and is about to go home, an unexpected event occurs.

In the suburbs of Denver, the U.S. secretly manufactured thousands of atomic weapons, leaving behind a toxic legacy that will persist for generations. The Rocky Flats plant produced a staggering 70,000 atomic bombs, each serving as a “trigger” for thermonuclear warheads. Concealed by government secrecy, the plant's fires, leaks, and illicit dumping of nuclear waste contaminated the Denver area with long-lived radioactive toxins. A major—and highly visible—plutonium fire sparked a decade of mass protests, culminating in an unprecedented FBI raid that ultimately shuttered the plant. Today, the radioactive legacy of Rocky Flats continues to threaten public health, yet surprisingly few people are aware the plant ever existed. Through powerful testimonials and extraordinary archival media, Half-Life of Memory exposes Rocky Flats' dark past and enduring impact, prompting critical reflection on the implications of the nation’s renewed nuclear weapons buildup and ongoing construction of a new "trigger" factory. Website: https://halflifeofmemory.com/

In Exile is a short film that explores the US nuclear legacy in the Pacific through the lens of members of the Marshallese community in Arkansas. The Marshallese were told their islands in Micronesia were essential for the good of mankind for Operation Crossroads, a series of nuclear tests in Bikini Atoll commencing in 1946. In a highly choreographed scene photographed by an array of military cameras, the Marshallese begin the process of leaving their home islands for an exile that has now lasted 77 years. They could not know that their islands would be vaporized, their waters poisoned, and their bodies used as test subjects by the US government. In Exile encapsulates this complex history in the scene of a Nuclear Remembrance Day event. Every year the Marshallese revisit this traumatic event in an emotional scene that encompasses an often overlooked part of American history.

In 1983, a Lieutenant in command at an early warning base receives an alarm from the satellite defense system. Five nuclear warheads are directed towards his territory. The attack is unexpected, but the data appears reliable. The protocol is clear: should he initiate a deadly retaliation? Based on a true story. 

 

In Our Hands" is a short film about the fragility of life. The unbelievable true story of Stanislav Petrov teaches us that we possess the ability to create unimaginable wonders and horrors. However, we are merely delicate beings in the face of the vast emptiness just beyond our reach. I find this concept fascinating, and I believe it holds great relevance in today's world. Website: https://www.camillosancisi.com/

As one of the many nuclear powered countries, Taiwan is constantly facing the issue on how to deal with its nuclear waste. After decades of controversial governmental decisions, a new solution seems possible: a citizen-powered decentralized storage strategy. In the late 1970s, Taiwans government decided to store parts of its nuclear waste on Orchid Island, 65km off Taiwan’s southeast coast, home of the Yami people who lived for centuries as an isolated tribe. Being tricked by the government, the tribal chief signed a contract to built a “fish cannery“, which turned out to be a nuclear waste storage site. After more than 30 years of protest by the yami people, the government passes a new decision to solve to problem of Orchid Island with a new decentralised storage strategy. The film accompanies two governmental employees with their daily struggle of redistributing the nuclear waste to all Taiwanese citizens.

How many artists question technology, especially military technology? ‘Tempest’ is named for the nuclear industrial storm imagined inside the concrete silo where the NZ artist Peter Roche staged his final installation ‘Asylum’, a daring collection of works that speak to the nuclear uncanny and the dangers underscoring our new radioactive world. This invasion of the military into our lives provides the context for much of Peter’s work, spanning his performances from the 1970’s through to his later light and kinetic sculptures. However, it was not until ‘Asylum’, 2016, Peter’s final public installation in an abandoned concrete silo, that he confronted the nuclear threat head on. Commanding works with titles such as Meltdown, Flotilla and Tempest underscore the dangers of nuclear military technology and the vulnerability of a culture so entangled in its manufacture and the global reach of its destructive toxic legacy. ‘Tempest’ is dedicated to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. Website: https://www.eit.ac.nz/staff/bridget-sutherland/

 

Bridget Sutherland is a writer on art, a painter and filmmaker: "The threat posed by nuclear war and its industrial arm, the nuclear power plant, creates new forms of fear and psychic anxiety. In making ‘Tempest’, I was concerned to highlight a number of seminal works by the artist Peter Roche that speak to the underlying dangers of the Nuclear age and its psychological impact. Peter is little known outside of New Zealand and yet his vision is universal and reflects on the growing urgency to end the hold of nuclear and military consciousness on the planet."

In 1942, the United States launched the Manhattan Project to develop the first atomic bomb, with Dr. Robert Wilson among its brilliant scientists. Disillusioned by the destruction, he later pioneered Proton Therapy in 1946, a groundbreaking cancer treatment used worldwide today. The Accelerator examines the remarkable career of Dr. Robert Wilson, the youngest and a vital member of the Manhattan Project. As one of Oppenheimer's key partners, Wilson's intellect was instrumental to the project's success, yet his pacifist beliefs and the moral struggles he endured regarding the use of atomic power remained largely unspoken. Utilizing archival footage and in-depth interviews, this documentary brings to light the complexities of Wilson's moral journey and emphasizes the human toll of one of history's most groundbreaking scientific endeavors. Website: https://theacceleratorfilm.com

The Atomic Bowl: Football at Ground Zero - and Nuclear Peril Today 

USA, 2025, Director Greg Mitchell, Documentary, English. Subtitles in Portuguese. 52 min.

 

There have been numerous films on The Bomb, even one or two about Nagasaki,  but “The Atomic Bowl: Football at Ground Zero — and Nuclear Peril Today” is unique, and with many lessons and warnings for today–as nuclear dangers proliferate and civilian casualties in wars climb even higher. This football showdown featured college and pro stars, on January 1, 1946, and in (of all places) Nagasaki, near ground zero for the second atomic bomb, which killed over 80,000 just a few weeks earlier. The film, narrated by Peter Coyote, is not only the first full first-hand account of the game, but a provocative and disturbing story of the decision to drop a second atomic bomb just three days after Hiroshima–and the dangerous message to today’s leaders. Nearly all of the victims of the “forgotten bomb” were women and children and other civilians.

This important film, which includes rare footage and dozens of never published photographs, then offers a convincing argument about the relevance of Nagasaki today as mass civilian casualties in wars surge and nuclear dangers by all estimates grow every year.
