Field, Tom Bailee Thursday, Nov. 8 7 to 9:30 p.m. CWU Museum of Culture and Environment Free, including refreshments “Hibakusha – At the End of the World” (translated from Japanese meaning explosion-affected people) documents the suffering of Iraqi children irradiated by the use of depleted uranium ammunition during the Gulf War, American farmers living near the Hanford plutonium factory in Washington state and survivors of the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Though separated by time and space, their common peril delivers a strong message to the contemporary world. After the movie there will be a discussion featuring Norma M.
