If you loved Anne Frank's Diary, try Barefoot Gen 2

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Animation / Drama / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Anne Frank's Diary, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Barefoot Gen 2 is

You're a Hiroshima survivor in 1948. You try to rebuild some life for yourself and a few war orphans. But disease is rampant. Hirata's sequel is bleaker, more concerned with lingering trauma than hope. It leaves one shaken.
