Synopsis:

Drawn from writer Keiji Nakazawa's true life experiences in the aftermath of the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima, 'Barefoot Gen' tells the story of one family's struggle to survive against overwhelming odds.

Barefoot Gen (1983): Gen Nakaoka is on his way to school when the atomic bomb detonates. He makes his way back to his home through hellish scenes of ruined buildings, corpses, and hideously mutilated survivors. Although his family is still alive, Gen and his pregnant mother are unable to free his father, sister, and brother from the rubble of their house and must leave them to burn to death. His mother goes into labor during their flight and his new sister is born amid the devastation. Holding the infant, Gen tells her to remember the horrors, so that they never occur again....

Barefoot Gen 2 (1986): Six-year-old Gen has lived practically his entire life in the shadow of war. Yet, in trying to aid a group of orphans to survive and find a new life, he is not prepared for the horrors which follow the bombing of Hiroshima....

Barefoot Gen 2 (1986)
Three years after the Hiroshima bombing, a teenager helps a group of orphans to survive and find their new life.
