DESCRIPTION:“Paper Lanterns” is the story of two of the 12 American airmen who died 
 in the bombing of Hiroshima August 6, 1945, and the Japanese witness to the 
 bombing who uncovered their stories. The film will be shown Aug. 12 at 1:30 
 pm as part of the free Second Saturday Documentary Series at Niles 
 Discovery Church, 36600 Niles Blvd. at the corner of Nursery Ave. 
 \n\nHundreds of thousands of Japanese died as a result of the atomic bombs 
 dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As an eight year-old, 
 Shegeaki Mori witnessed the destruction, and as an adult he wondered about 
 the 12 U.S. prisoners of war who were anonymous. Believing these men were 
 as worthy of remembrance as any of the victims, he began the decades-long 
 research into who these men were.\n\n“I believed at the very least the 
 next of kin had to be informed,” Mr. Mori explained. \n\nBarry 
 Frechette’s film documents Mr. Mori’s quest for information and how he 
 shared it with the families of Normand Brissette of Massachusetts and Ralph 
 Neal of Kentucky, helping to bring closure and peace to everyone involved. 
 \n\nThe film takes its title from the paper lanterns that are floated down 
 the river in front of the Hiroshima Peace Museum every August 6th, 
 symbolizing spirits departing this world for the next. 	 \n\n There will be 
 a moderated discussion following the film. The Second Saturday Documentary 
 Series is co-sponsored by Niles Discovery Church and the San Jose Peace & 
 Justice Center. For more information, call 510 797-0895 or visit
