What's wrong? 87 00:10:02,936 --> 00:10:07,858 No doctor has told me exactly what my illness is. 88 00:10:07,983 --> 00:10:10,068 Do you have symptoms like nosebleeds? 89 00:10:10,193 --> 00:10:15,240 No, but my memory is fading, 90 00:10:15,365 --> 00:10:23,165 and slight wounds fester, and my eyes and body tire easily. 91 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,838 I feel very listless, especially in summer. 92 00:10:29,963 --> 00:10:32,799 I no longer have the strength to remain standing. 93 00:10:34,551 --> 00:10:37,596 Everyone feels listless in summer, right? 94 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,192 What's so funny? 95 00:10:50,317 --> 00:10:52,861 This is why we don't feel like talking about it at all! 96 00:10:52,986 --> 00:10:54,738 Of course, there are small differences, 97 00:10:54,863 --> 00:10:59,534 but everyone who was exposed to radiation is suffering as Serizawa said! 98 00:11:00,661 --> 00:11:03,789 And... we never talk about it, 99 00:11:03,914 --> 00:11:08,377 but we've always been afraid of dying from the A-bomb disease. 100 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,464 But if we say that, you just laugh at us, 101 00:11:12,589 --> 00:11:17,052 saying that we're making too much of our experience and demanding attention for it. 102 00:11:24,518 --> 00:11:29,231 When Kono puts it like that, there's nothing that I can say. 103 00:11:30,565 --> 00:11:35,112 To be honest, until we listened to Dawn over Zero on the radio 104 00:11:35,237 --> 00:11:36,822 and Oba collapsed, 105 00:11:36,947 --> 00:11:41,660 I never understood how the A-bomb is eating away your bodies. 106 00:11:43,328 --> 00:11:46,289 I have heard a great deal about the sickness, 107 00:11:46,415 --> 00:11:52,254 but I thought Americans from the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission treated them. 108 00:11:53,588 --> 00:11:58,218 But I only found out a few days ago that the Americans are examining survivors, 109 00:11:58,343 --> 00:12:00,429 but not treating them. 110 00:12:01,972 --> 00:12:05,600 I'm ashamed that I haven't paid more attention to matters 111 00:12:05,726 --> 00:12:08,645 concerning the atomic bombing since I came to Hiroshima. 112 00:12:09,438 --> 00:12:12,107 I'm so sorry. 113 00:12:14,025 --> 00:12:16,236 You're not the only one. 114 00:12:16,361 --> 00:12:19,614 Most people even in Hiroshima don't know about this. 115 00:12:20,449 --> 00:12:25,162 Lately the media have been warning people around the world 116 00:12:25,287 --> 00:12:28,415 about the importance of peace and how terrible an atomic bomb is. 117 00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:31,460 But before telling the rest of the world, 118 00:12:31,585 --> 00:12:38,258 I want to tell Japanese people about the horror and inhumanity of the A-bomb. 119 00:12:38,383 --> 00:12:43,054 No, I want to tell the people of Hiroshima! 120 00:12:43,180 --> 00:12:46,808 I want to tell all of you! 121 00:12:47,642 --> 00:12:49,644 And you, Mr. Kitagawa, 122 00:13:02,407 --> 00:13:07,329 Oba has leukemia, which is caused by an increase in the number of leukocytes 123 00:13:07,454 --> 00:13:09,956 and there's no way to treat it. 124 00:13:11,333 --> 00:13:13,835 From what I have heard, 125 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:19,341 there are 92,500 leukocytes in a single drop of her blood. 126 00:13:27,808 --> 00:13:29,810 LEUKOCYTES 127 00:13:30,811 --> 00:13:33,313 I think you've already learned this in physiology. 128 00:13:34,606 --> 00:13:40,153 Do you know how many leukocytes exist in normal human blood? 129 00:13:40,278 --> 00:13:42,447 Raise your hand if you know. 130 00:13:43,365 --> 00:13:47,410 - They're all victims. - Yeah, and it's fatal for them. 131 00:13:48,995 --> 00:13:50,997 Is there anyone who knows? 132 00:13:53,458 --> 00:13:54,876 Yes, Inoue? 133 00:13:55,001 --> 00:13:59,714 Yes, in one cubic millimeter, there are 6,000 to 8,000 leukocytes. 134 00:14:01,132 --> 00:14:04,094 And what is the function of leukocytes? 135 00:14:04,219 --> 00:14:08,223 Leukocytes are cells that are made in marrow and exist in blood. 136 00:14:08,348 --> 00:14:11,810 They defend against infectious disease and foreign materials by eating bacteria. 137 00:14:11,935 --> 00:14:13,812 That's right. 138 00:14:14,563 --> 00:14:21,862 Leukemia increases the number of useless leukocytes. 139 00:14:22,696 --> 00:14:25,740 Moreover, it decreases normal leukocytes. 140 00:14:25,866 --> 00:14:33,123 The body loses its ability to fight bacteria and eventually dies. 141 00:14:33,790 --> 00:14:39,754 As a consequence, normal functioning leukocytes decrease. 142 00:14:41,214 --> 00:14:42,382 Teacher? 143 00:14:43,425 --> 00:14:44,509 What? 144 00:14:44,634 --> 00:14:47,387 So is that what happened to the people who died 145 00:14:47,512 --> 00:14:51,766 when their leukocytes decreased to 1,000 or 2,000 after the flash-bang? 146 00:14:52,434 --> 00:14:54,394 Yes, it seems so. 147 00:14:55,145 --> 00:15:00,233 So the source of the disease is radiation, right? 148 00:15:01,067 --> 00:15:04,029 I'm not sure, but I think so. 149 00:15:05,155 --> 00:15:09,910 On the day of the bomb, Oba wasn't injured or burned, 150 00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:13,663 but she was exposed to radiation in her house, 151 00:15:13,788 --> 00:15:17,042 which was only a kilometer from ground zero. 152 00:15:17,918 --> 00:15:21,504 She suffered from radiation poisoning at the time. 153 00:15:21,630 --> 00:15:25,592 She lost a lot of hair, got purple spots on her body, 154 00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:29,512 had a high fever, and had blood in her stools and urine. 155 00:15:29,638 --> 00:15:32,599 Fortunately she survived and regained her health. 156 00:15:33,475 --> 00:15:37,812 But seven years later, this happens. 157 00:15:40,565 --> 00:15:45,654 Doctors say that the burns caused by the A-bomb may cause cancer, 158 00:15:45,779 --> 00:15:48,114 with no way to prevent it. 159 00:15:48,239 --> 00:15:53,745 Even if there were, there are few people who can treat it by themselves. 160 00:15:54,621 --> 00:15:56,623 However, once you make that public, 161 00:15:56,748 --> 00:16:00,293 people will become obsessed with blaming physical problems on the bomb. 162 00:16:00,418 --> 00:16:03,588 So if you don't do like Mr. Kikkawa, 163 00:16:03,713 --> 00:16:07,384 who survived and was bold enough to show his scars and demand money, 164 00:16:07,509 --> 00:16:12,681 or like the Hiroshima Maidens who receive treatment through the compassion of society, 165 00:16:12,806 --> 00:16:16,351 or like the tramps at Hiroshima Station 166 00:16:16,476 --> 00:16:20,939 who throw themselves on the mercy of travelers late at night, 167 00:16:21,064 --> 00:16:24,693 you'll live in the shadows. 168 00:16:24,818 --> 00:16:30,573 You'll hide your ugly scars as if you'd done something wrong. 169 00:16:30,699 --> 00:16:35,495 Maybe you'll be a construction laborer covering your keloids with towels. 170 00:16:37,706 --> 00:16:41,418 We also have a friend who's in a sorry state. 171 00:16:41,543 --> 00:16:44,629 I feel bad saying his name, but it's Endo. 172 00:16:44,754 --> 00:16:46,673 He was coming to school during the day 173 00:16:46,798 --> 00:16:49,884 and working at a cabaret in Nagarekawa at night. 174 00:16:50,010 --> 00:16:53,555 Now he's quit school and hangs out at a pachinko parlor every day. 175 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,849 He'd been evacuated with his sister to the mountains, 176 00:16:55,974 --> 00:16:58,184 so he was gone at the time of the flash-bang, 177 00:16:58,309 --> 00:17:00,895 but the bomb killed his parents and brother. 178 00:17:01,021 --> 00:17:03,189 Endo and his sister were orphaned. 179 00:17:03,314 --> 00:17:07,610 At first, he took care of her by shining shoes, but one day she disappeared. 180 00:17:07,736 --> 00:17:10,864 After that, he joined a gang of delinquents 181 00:17:10,989 --> 00:17:13,658 and got locked up in the orphanage on Ninoshima. 182 00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,746 After that, his ex-soldier uncle took charge of him. 183 00:17:17,871 --> 00:17:22,959 Living with his poor uncle, Endo started working at a cabaret to make ends meet. 184 00:17:23,084 --> 00:17:25,545 He's been changing gradually. 185 00:17:25,670 --> 00:17:30,008 It makes me sad to think about him. 186 00:17:35,805 --> 00:17:40,852 Many excellent churches were built in postwar Hiroshima, 187 00:17:40,977 --> 00:17:47,525 and the sky in Hiroshima resounds with bells of peace morning and evening. 188 00:18:05,710 --> 00:18:09,130 The city built a Peace Bridge, 189 00:18:11,466 --> 00:18:13,301 a Peace Memorial Museum, 190 00:18:13,885 --> 00:18:17,097 and the Cenotaph where we dedicate ourselves to peace 191 00:18:17,222 --> 00:18:20,183 and pledge to never allow the mistake to happen again. 192 00:18:20,308 -->
