"No one should die by nuclear means." Hiroshima TV is streaming the English version of its documentary program for free.

Hiroshima Television Broadcasting (HTV) began free distribution of English versions of its peace-themed documentary programs on its website ( http://www.htv.jp/hiroshima ) on August 6.
The distributed programs include two works broadcast by the station in 2015 and 2016, plus four additional works produced and broadcast since its founding, totaling six works.
HTV stated, "As a media outlet in Hiroshima, we bear the responsibility to convey the devastation of the atomic bombing, document the reconstruction, and pursue peace. We believe this information dissemination must reach both domestic and international audiences, and we continue to act accordingly. Gaining trust requires unceasing effort."

To widely convey its message globally, the station placed an advertisement in the American newspaper The New York Times on August 5. The ad announces the free streaming while delivering a message seeking peace, with the catchphrase: "We should not lose a single human life to nuclear weapons."

■ Broadcast Program

① " U.S. POWs and the A-bomb " (American Soldiers Affected by the Atomic Bombing)

Hiroshima was targeted for the atomic bomb because it lacked prisoner-of-war camps.
However, it is said that 12 American POWs died in the blast, revealing a truth that exposed the absurdity of war and nuclear weapons.
Through the existence of these American soldiers, the program conveys the complex emotions still felt by their families today and the human compassion that transcends national borders.
