!e FilmHave you ever thought about the loved ones and valuables you'd rescue with knowledge of an impending disaster? What if you had, say, five minutes, or even one minute, to escape? How about one second? Which moments of your life would flash before your eyes just before you lost everything? Little Boy. It doesn't sound threatening or deadly. It doesn't seem possible that a little boy could take away everything you ever knew and loved. But this Little Boy did just that. In the time it takes to light a match, this Little Boy destroyed a city, tore apart families, and stole the hopes and dreams of hundreds of thousands of people. Little Boy was the code name for the atomic bomb that incinerated Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. This documentary is the focal point of a large multimedia campaign to help abolish nuclear weapons.

H"toryThat Day Film was inspired by the story of Kosei Mito, an in-utero survivor of the atomic attack on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and the profound effect it had on the film's directors. Some people may live with hatred and anger long after the hostilities of WWII ended, but rather, Kosei Mito's only regret is not reaching more people with his message of peace to all, understanding, and ridding the world of these terrible weapons. This film is produced by Rebecca Irby & Rich Mirocco. Their mission is to use multimedia to convey socially conscious programming to international and cross-cultural audiences, as they promote peace and understanding across a broad spectrum of contemporary social challenges. The ideas for this film were born in the fall of 2011 and filming began in the summer of 2012.

!e DirectorsRich witnessed the magnitude of helping others through his parents. He would accompany his father during visits to the sick and needy to deliver the holy sacrament. His mother was a first aid instructor and field paramedic in some of America's toughest cities. At times and in places where people are normally frightened or embarrassed, Rich's parents were gentle and caring. Rich has worked in and taught commercial on-air radio announcing, voice-over, production, and programming. Rebecca and Rich worked with and organized charity events in Japan for victims of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, and visit orphanages during the Christmas season. This film project is the next chapter in an ongoing effort to create peaceful and positive change in the world around them, one person at a time, combining their personalit ies, ski l ls, and aspirations.

Rebecca Irby and Rich Mirocco are pursuing aspirations to devote themselves more fully to charity, health, and wellness. As a young girl, Rebecca had recurring visions of human suffering and people in need, so from an early age she wanted to help others. Her mother lovingly supported this ambition and helped her enroll in charity projects from remote areas of Belize to orphanages in Russia. Rebecca is an amateur photographer, worked as a spokes model for a number of different brands and has appeared in a handful of television commercials.
