Movie #1765 ........................."Oban" (short documentary)

Movie #1765 "Oban" (short documentary)  The second show doc was narrated by
Akiko, one of the last survivors of the bombing of Hiroshima --- this is done in an animated fashion and it is very powerful.  She was born in 1925 and she lived on a island off of Japan, but she was working in Hiroshima proper when the bomb hit --- the traveling back to home in dire need of help was horrific to watch, even in animated style --- I will never forget the sound effect of people's hands snapping off due to the extreme heat from the bomb --- It was really well done, but I would have wanted even more information on such a tremendously impactful moment in our history.  This might be nominated for AA but not sure if for animation or short doc.  4 out of 5.
