Can you help? War and Peace Studies in Japan course

Can you help?
A native New Hampshire gal I know has been working hard and looking but could use help finding a better video to use in a presentation. Your help could make a BIG difference. You can post here or PM me. Thanks so much.

Here's a brief description of the course she has designed:

The War and Peace Studies in Japan course is a semester-long summer course which is centered on a two week visit to Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, where participants will listen to atomic bomb survivor testimony, attend lectures by experts, and tour war- and peace-related facilities. The course, which will be run in collaboration with the Peace and International Solidarity Promotion division of the Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation, aims to provide students with an opportunity to think critically about the nature of war and peace by examining various aspects of the Pacific War, focusing specifically on the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as a case study. The course also explores contemporary issues related to world peace in the era of globalization.

Next week she will deliver a 2 hour presentation of this course, and she'd like to include a brief (10 minute or so) video that might help to introduce the topic as well as highlight the importance / necessity for this type of program. She'd like to find a video that would represent various perspectives on the topic, i.e., A-bomb footage and/or hibakusha (victims/survivors of the bombings) testimony, as well as that from U.S veterans claiming that "we had no choice but to drop the bomb(s)".

Any suggestions for an appropriate video would be hugely appreciated!!

Peace
