The 2024 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Nihon Hidankyo , the Japan Confederation of A- and H-bomb Sufferers Organizations .

The 1954 film "Godzilla" launched a franchise that has been warning viewers to take better care of the Earth for the past 70 years .

By 1954 , Japan had survived almost a decade of nuclear exposure.

The 2011 Fukushima disaster has now become part of the Japanese people's collective memory.

The positioning of Godzilla between Earth and those who would harm it resonates today in two separate Godzilla franchises.

The message is clear: Don't just lazily sing about imminent doom—shape up and do something.
