Seeing as today, August 6, 2020, is the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, this film came to mind.

Barefoot Gen (はだしのゲン, Hadashi no Gen) is a 1983 Japanese anime war drama film loosely based on the Japanese manga series of the same name by Keiji Nakazawa. Directed by Mori Masaki and starring Issei Miyazaki, Masaki Kōda and Tatsuya Jo, it depicts World War II in Japan from a child's point of view revolving around the events surrounding the bombing of Hiroshima and the main character's first hand experience of the bomb.
