Wow. What to say about Barefoot Gen. It's definitely something I didn't want to watch at 8.30 in the morning. It's a very strong, heavy story. An autobiography of Keiji Nakazawa, a survivor of the Hiroshima bombings. The story starts out innocently enough, and to be honest I didn't get hooked until the bomb was dropped. It was like watching a car crash, it's horrible but you can't look away. I feel like this could be a useful tool in teaching people about the bombings because its an interesting way to show it, and it's very attention grabbing.
