A preview of an animated film about a Swiss doctor who treated survivors of the 1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima was held in Tokyo on Friday.
"Anime Junod" was produced by a Hiroshima-based peace organization. It depicts Dr Marcel Junod, who convinced allied forces in post-war Japan to transport 15 tons of medical supplies to Hiroshima so survivors could be treated.
In the film, his activities are seen from the viewpoint of junior high school girls who go back in time.
A short live-action film on Junod was made years ago. But the peace organization made an animated version so he will be known to a wider range of age groups.
Production committee head Shizuko Tsuya says she hopes that many people watching the film will think about peace and the courage needed to overcome difficulties.
Screenings will start at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography in September. The committee will work to show the film in Switzerland and other countries.
