A documentary film by Michael Dwyer "APPRECIATION" - The Tomiko Morimoto West Story
An atomic bomb survivor shares her story of triumph in the face of tragedy.

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 members of her family. Tomiko, then thirteen, searched the devastated city for the body of her grandfather to avoid the injustice of a mass burial, cremating him under mountain tree branches. She married an American GI, became a professor at Vassar College, and at age 91 has only one wish: that world leaders work together for global peace.
