Sadako was only two years old when the Hiroshima bomb fell and she seemed to be unharmed. But at twelve, she was diagnosed with radiation sickness.  With boundless optimism, she takes an old story to heart:  “If a sick person folds a thousand paper cranes, the gods will grant her wish and make her well again.”

A Thousand Cranes is a Studio 52 production.
