Ifilimu entsha, Isifungo esivela kuHiroshima, ubalisa ibali likaSetsuko Thurlow owayeyintombazana yesikolo eHiroshima xa iUnited States yaphosa ibhombu yokuqala yenyukliya. Wakhutshwa kwisakhiwo apho ama-27 kwabo wayefunda nabo batshisa bade bafa. Uye wabona ubungqina bokwenzakala okungathethekiyo kunye nokubandezeleka okungathethekiyo kunye nokungcwatywa okungathandekiyo kwabantu abaninzi abathandayo, abaziyo nabantu angabaziyo.
USetsuko wayevela kusapho olwalumi kakuhle kwaye uthi kuye kwanyanzeleka ukuba asebenze ekoyiseni ukucalucalula kwakhe amahlwempu, kodwa woyisa inani lezinto ezimangalisayo. Isikolo sakhe sasisesesikolo samaKristu, kwaye wayenempembelelo kubomi bakhe ingcebiso katitshala yokuzibandakanya kwi-activism njengendlela yokuba ngumKristu. Ukuthi isizwe esasinamaKristu uninzi lwalusandula ukutshabalalisa isixeko saso esasingesosabuKristu sasingenamsebenzi. Into yokuba abaseNtshona bayenzile ayinamsebenzi nayo. Wathandana nendoda yaseKhanada eyayihlala kwaye isebenza eJapan.
Uye wamshiya okwethutyana eJapan waya kwiDyunivesithi yaseLynchburg kufutshane nalapho ndihlala eVirginia- into endingayaziyo ngaye de ndibukele ifilimu. Ukoyikeka kunye noxinzelelo awayekulo lwalungenamsebenzi. Ukuba wayekwilizwe elingaqhelekanga kwakungakhathali. Xa i-United States yavavanya izixhobo zenyukliya kwiziqithi zePasifiki apho yayigxothe khona abahlali, uSetsuko wathetha ngokuchasene nayo kwimithombo yeendaba yaseLynchburg. I-imeyile yentiyo ayifumeneyo ayinamsebenzi. Xa isithandwa sakhe sazibandakanya naye kwaye babengenakutshata eVirginia ngenxa yemithetho yocalucalulo ngokuchasene "nokutshata" eyayiphuma kwinto enye yokucinga ngobuhlanga eyadala ukuqhushumba kukaHiroshima kunye noNagasaki, oko akunamsebenzi. Batshata eWashington, DC
Amaxhoba eemfazwe zaseNtshona ayenalo kwaye phantse ngokupheleleyo akanalo lizwi kwimithombo yeendaba zaseNtshona kunye noluntu alunamsebenzi. Izikhumbuzo ezikhunjulwayo kwiikhalenda zaseNtshona zaziphantse zayimfazwe, pro-impiriyali, pro-colonial, okanye ngenye indlela yokubhiyozela ipropaganda karhulumente. USetsuko nabanye abakumzabalazo ofanayo bathathe isigqibo sokwenza okungenani into enye kule migaqo. Enkosi ngomsebenzi wabo, isikhumbuzo seebhombu zenyukliya ngo-Agasti 6th Kunye ne9th zikhunjulwa kwihlabathi liphela, kunye nezikhumbuzo zemfazwe kunye nezikhumbuzo kunye neepaki ezibonisa ukuba ezi ntlekele zikhona kwindawo yoluntu esalawulwa ziitempile zomlo kunye nemifanekiso eqingqiweyo.
USetsuko akafumananga kuphela ilizwi likawonke-wonke elithetha ngamaxhoba emfazwe, kodwa wanceda ekwakheni iphulo lomzabalazo lokuphelisa izixhobo zenyukliya ezenze isivumelwano esivunyiweyo ngamazwe angama-39 kunye nokunyuka- iphulo elijolise ekufundiseni abantu malunga namaxhoba adlulileyo kunye namaxhoba anokubakho kwixesha elizayo. yemfazwe. Ndicebisa ukujoyina ela phulo, xelela urhulumente wase-US ajoyine isivumelwano, kwaye xelela urhulumente wase-US ukuhambisa imali ngaphandle kwezixhobo zenyukliya kunye nezinye izinto kumatshini wemfazwe. Iphulo uSetsuko asebenze nalo waphumelela imbasa kaNobel yoXolo, ephawula ukuhamba kwiKomiti yeNobel eyayikade inikezela loo mbasa kuye nabani na osebenzela ukuphelisa imfazwe (ngaphandle kokumiselwa kuka-Alfred Nobel ukuba kufuneka enze kanye loo nto).
Bekuyakuthini ukuba besingathatha umsebenzi ka-Setsuko kunye nezinto aziphumezileyo kungengombandela nje wokumangaliswa, kodwa njengomzekelo wokuphindwa? Ewe, iibhombu zenyukliya zazingafani nezinye (kwaye kungcono bahlale benjalo okanye sonke siza kutshabalala), kodwa akukho nto iyodwa malunga nokuqhushumba, okanye ukutshisa izakhiwo, okanye ukubandezeleka, okanye ukutshabalalisa izibhedlele, okanye oogqirha ababuleweyo, okanye ukonzakala okungathethekiyo, ukungcola okungapheliyo nezifo, okanye nokusetyenziswa kwezixhobo zenyukliya ukuba sijonga izixhobo ze-uranium eziphelileyo. Amabali aphuma kwizixeko ezitshiswe ngomlilo zaseJapan ezingakhange zikhathaleke abuhlungu njengezo zaseHiroshima naseNagasaki. Amabali akutshanje avela e-Yemen, e-Afghanistan, e-Iraq, e-Pakistan, e-Syria, e-Libya, e-Somalia, e-Congo, e-Philippines, e-Mexico, eqhubeka njalo njalo.
Kuthekani ukuba inkcubeko yase-US-ibandakanyeka kutshintsho olukhulu okwangoku, ikrazula izikhumbuzo kwaye inokuba ifake ezinye ezimbalwa ezitsha-yayiza kwenza indawo yamaxhoba emfazwe? Ukuba abantu banokufunda ukumamela ubulumko bexhoba laseHiroshima, kutheni amaxhoba aseBaghdad naseKabul naseSaaa bengathethi kwiminyhadala yoluntu (okanye iZoom iminxeba) kumaqela amakhulu nakumaziko eMelika? Ukuba i-200,000 efileyo ifanelekile ukuba ithathelwe ingqalelo, ayifanelanga i-2,000,000 okanye kunjalo kwiimfazwe zamva nje? Ukuba abo basinde kwinyukliya bangaqala ukuviwa kwiminyaka emininzi kamva, ngaba singayikhawulezisa inkqubo yokuva kwabasindileyo kwiimfazwe ezishukumisela ulawulo lwenyukliya ngoorhulumente ohlukeneyo?
Logama i-United States iqhubeka nokwenza izinto ezoyikisayo, icala elinye, ukubulawa kwabantu abaninzi kude abantu base-US abaxelelwa okuncinci, amazwe ekujoliswe kuwo anjenge North Korea ne China akazukunikezela ngezixhobo zenyukliya. Kwaye okoko bengavumi -ukuthintela ukukhanya okwenziwe ngaphakathi okanye ukwandisa inkcaso ngaphandle kwe-United States nayo ayizukuyenza loo nto. Ukulahla ubuntu kwizixhobo zenyukliya yeyona nto icacileyo, ebaluleke kakhulu, iphela ngokwayo kwaye inyathelo lokuqala lokuzihlangula emfazweni, kodwa akunakulindeleka ukuba yenzeke ngaphandle kokuba siqhubeke nokuzikhupha kulo lonke iziko lemfazwe ngaxeshanye.
