Eighty years ago, a single bomb changed the course of history. Hiroshima became the first city to experience the horrors of nuclear war—tens of thousands of lives lost in an instant, and countless more forever changed.

That tragedy sparked a global call: Never again.

And yet, today, more than 12,000 nuclear weapons remain—modernized, expanded, and ready for use in a world growing more unstable by the day.

To mark this solemn anniversary, Ploughshares is sharing a new short film narrated by Barbra Streisand, a longtime supporter of Ploughshares’ mission to reduce the threat nuclear weapons pose to our world. This video is a reflection on loss, resilience, and the urgent need for action. Watch, share—and act.
