Service and sacrifice: Film commemorates legacy of Délįnę and atom bomb – RRU
Seventy-five years after atomic weapons were first unleashed, war heritage expert Prof. Geoffrey Bird is releasing a short documentary that remembers the service and sacrifice of the people of Délįnę, who carried uranium ore used in the atomic bombs that ended the Second World War.
A Moral Awakening launches Wednesday, July 15 in a virtual exhibit hosted by the Royal Roads University Library. The project was inspired and endorsed by the Délįnę Got’įnę Government and funded by the Government of Canada.
Bird says part of that moral awakening for Canadians is to acknowledge the service and sacrifice made by the people of Délįnę.
“The film calls for a moral awakening, a call to action to overcome the shadow of destruction and injustice that we humans so readily bring upon ourselves, on others, and our planet,” Bird says.
