For 30 years, Sayuri Yoshinaga, one of Japan's top film actresses has volunteered her time to read poems by survivors of the World War II atomic bombing of Hiroshima. She is joined by the internationally renowned Academy Award winning musician and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, who says "Unless there is peace, we can't enjoy art. So, for me, there has to be peace". The poems express sorrow and suffering, a belief in the strength of humankind to overcome hardship, and messages of hope for peace.
