Summary

75 years after the nuclear bombs fell on Hiroshima and Nagaski, survivor Setsuko Thurlow, still struggles with the memories of death and destruction. She joins Christiane Amanpour to reflect on that horrifying day that inspired her to dedicate her life to campaigning for nuclear disarmament, which earned her a Nobel Peace prize. Stuart Stevens, former Republican strategist, talks candidly about the disillusionment he now feels for his old party and why he once "represented the worst of the political system.” Then, our Hari Sreenivasan speaks to Ari Berman, author and senior reporter at Mother Jones, and LaTosha Brown, co-founder of the Black Voters Matter Fund, about voter suppression and the looming election crisis.
