‘Village of Widows’ ―a documentary directed by award-winning filmmaker Peter Blow―recounts the remarkable story of the Sahtu Dene people, who were employed by the Canadian Government during WWII to transport uranium, which became fuel for the bombs that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Peter Blow is a researcher, writer, producer, and director based in Toronto. He has worked on close to 100 broadcast documentaries both in England and Canada, many of which have garnered numerous awards including two Oscar nominations.
This event is presented in conjunction with the exhibition, ひろしま hiroshima by Ishiuchi Miyako, on display at the UBC Museum of Anthropology through February 12, 2012.
