Film: “On Paper Wings”

4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
August 9

First Presbyterian Church of Ashland

In the spring of 1945, a Japanese balloon bomb claimed the lives of the only people killed on the continental U.S. as the result of enemy action during WWII. Forty years later, the decision to fold a thousand paper cranes would unite the Japanese and American civilians who were involved in and affected by this incident. Join us for a film screening of On Paper Wings, which tells the story of four Japanese women who worked on balloon bombs, the families of those killed in the U.S., and the man whose actions brought them all together 40 years after WWII.

The film is being shown in Calvin Hall at the First Presbyterian Church in Ashland at the corner of Walker & Siskiyou.
