Blue Peter shows clip of anime movie

Barefoot Gen was featured on Blue Peter today, as part of a programme dedicated to the 60th Anniversary of the end of World War II. They travelled to Hiroshima and talked to manga creator Keiji Nakazawa about his first-hand experience, visited his old school and showed some clips from the film. He then drew a sketch of Gen, with the the message “No more war!! No more nuclear weapons!!”
