On August 6, 1945, the atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima. Little known is the fact that among the estimated 140,000 casualties of that day were 12 American prisoners of war held at the Hiroshima Military Police Headquarters since July 28, when they had been shot down during a bombing raid. For decades, many of the families of these 12 Americans were never informed as to the fates of their loved ones. Thanks to the tireless efforts of Mr. Shigeaki Mori, himself a hibakusha (A-bomb survivor), the names of these 12 are now included in the Hiroshima Peace Museum, and the relatives have learned the truth. Paper Lanterns documents the story of Mr. Mori and his dream of reaching out to the relatives of these lost airmen.

| User ReviewEmily VA film with heart and a story of peace. A must see. A true story that will have you interested from start to finish. |
| User ReviewScott FWhether you are a history buff or not, this compeling documentary is not to be missed. As well as telling a story unknown to 99% of the population, it shows the powerful impact one person can have on the lives of many. It is an emotional rollarcoaster ride, with many peaks and vallys along the way, and hopfully pointing the world in a direction of awareness. |
| User ReviewChad CMr and Ms Mori, featured in this film, are some of the world's best people. They've seen the worst of mankind, surviving the atomic bomb blast, but have changed that into something so positive for the world. |
