Synopsis
Hospitalized with the dreaded atom bomb disease, leukemia, a child in Hiroshima races against time to fold one thousand paper cranes to verify the legend that by doing so a sick person will become healthy.

This heart-rending biography tells of Sadako Sasaki, who was two years old when the atom bomb was dropped on her hometown of Hiroshima. Ten years later, Sadako is dying of leukemia as a result of the bomb, and a friend tells her that if a sick person can fold 1,000 paper cranes, the gods will make them well again. A poignant portrait that shows the devastating results of war. A statue dedicated to Sadako stands in the memorial at Hiroshima today.

Industry Reviews
"['Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes'] makes its own eloquent plea for world peace and deals simply but effectively with the concept of death for younger children."
