In Episode 118 of Influential Origins, host Alan Mindel continues his insightful conversation with Mitchie Takeuchi, filmmaker and second-generation Hibakusha. Mitchie shares her transformative journey, from initially feeling hesitant about embracing her identity to becoming a passionate advocate who brought Setsuko Thurlow’s powerful story—of surviving Hiroshima's atomic bombing and advocating for peace—to global audiences. Together, they explore themes of breaking silence, confronting generational trauma, and the importance of storytelling in fostering mutual understanding and peace. Mitchie also discusses her ongoing efforts to connect with younger generations through multimedia adaptations of her acclaimed documentary, The Vow from Hiroshima.
