Relationships between mothers and daughters can be complicated – especially if the legacy of the atomic bomb divides them. In this moving, personal documentary, filmmaker and lifelong peace advocate M.T. Silvia reaches out to two women with very different experiences of the atomic bomb: Hiroshima survivor Emiko Okada and the filmmaker's own mother, Pauline Silvia, who did top-secret scientific research at the U.S. nuclear test site in Nevada in the 1950s. Interwoven with information about our country's atomic legacy, the resulting story is one of forgiveness and reconciliation in the face of the continuing presence of nuclear weapons worldwide.
