About this event

When the decision is made to use the atom bomb on Japan, Leo Szilard, tormented by

his role in creating it, must do everything he can to prevent the catastrophe occurring.

When Colonel Paul Tibbets is given the go-ahead to drop the bomb, Shigeko Nomura, a

young woman living in Hiroshima who survives her city’s destruction, must use every

last ounce of energy to reach and rescue her parents.

 

The two actors enact the compelling stories of a brilliant Hungarian scientist, a daring American pilot and a devoted Japanese daughter. Partly using verbatim testimonies, THE MISTAKE is a gripping, moving and thought provoking drama about the dangers that arise when humans dare to unlock the awesome power of nature.
