"8:15 Hiroshima | From Father to Daughter" is a 51-minute documentary/narrative hybrid film (directed by J.R. Heffelfinger) based on Akiko Mikamo's book "8:15 - A True Story of Survival and Forgiveness from Hiroshima."

It illustrates Akiko's father Shinji's actual experiences of Hiroshima as a teen at only 3/4 miles from the epicenter of the first atomic bomb explosion over mankind in 1945, and his miraculous survival, love for humanity, and message for world peace, also revealing a shocking event in modern days, discovered in NYC.
Produced in the USA in 2020, Cinescope size, Dolby 5.1ch surround sounds, filmed with a 5K camera in NYC and Hiroshima, in English with Japanese subtitles (reenactments are in Japanese with English subtitles).
