{{Nihongo|'''''Barefoot Gen'''''|はだしのゲン|''Hadashi no Gen''}} is a 1983 Japanese [[adult animation|adult animated]] [[War film|war]] [[Drama (film and television)|drama film]] loosely based on the [[Manga|Japanese manga series]] of the [[Barefoot Gen|same name]] by [[Keiji Nakazawa]]. Directed by [[Mori Masaki]] and starring Issei Miyazaki, Masaki Kōda and Tatsuya Jo, it depicts [[World War II]] in Japan from a child's point of view revolving around the events surrounding the [[Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki|bombing of Hiroshima]] and the main character's first hand experience of the bomb.

''Barefoot Gen'' was dubbed by [[Streamline Pictures]] in 1995, and was previously released in subbed format in the United States on June 13, 1992.

A sequel, ''[[Barefoot Gen 2]]'', was released on June 14, 1986.

==Plot==
Gen Nakaoka and his family live in [[Hiroshima]], [[Empire of Japan|Japan]] during the final days of [[World War II]]. The family struggles through food shortages and constant air raid warnings. Gen's mother, Kimie, is pregnant and suffering from malnutrition, and his sister Eiko helps Kimie in her housework. Gen and his brother Shinji help their father, Daikichi, in the family's wheat field and try to find food for Kimie. Daikichi and Kimie realize the war is not going well, though they wonder why Hiroshima has been spared from [[Air raids on Japan|the air raids which devastated other Japanese cities]].

On August 6, 1945, Gen and a friend arrive at school just as a lone [[Enola Gay|B-29 aircraft]] flies overhead and releases [[Little Boy|an atomic bomb]], which destroys the city. Gen's friend is killed in the blast, while he is buried under rubble by the resulting shockwave and manages to survive. Gen finds Kimie trying to rescue their family, who are buried alive under their burning collapsed house, but Daikichi urges his son to take care of his mother and the baby. Daikichi, Eiko and Shinji burn to death as Kimie briefly suffers a mental breakdown. With help from a neighbor, the two find a safe location where Kimie gives birth to a baby girl, Tomoko. "[[Nuclear fallout|Black rain]]" soon falls on the ruined city, the result of the bomb that sent radioactive material and debris into the atmosphere.

Gen spends the next few days searching for food for his family. He discovers that soldiers are distributing rice, but arrives to find them collecting corpses before burning them in mass graves. He takes a [[radiation poisoning|radiation poisoned]] soldier to a makeshift hospital, where the soldier dies. Gen loots a few bags of intact rice from a ration warehouse and takes them to his mother to eat along with some fresh vegetables. Kimie points out a few bald spots on her son's head, who recollects the memory of the soldier dying from the unknown illness. Gen has a mental breakdown from this recollection. Soon afterwards, on August 9, another atomic bomb is dropped over [[Nagasaki]] after Japan refuses to surrender following an ultimatum from the [[Federal government of the United States|US government]].

On August 15, Gen and Kimie dig up the remains of their family members from their former home, in which they learn from a nearby family that Japan has [[Surrender of Japan|surrendered]] to the Allies, ending the war, but their prayers of peace came too late. They later take refuge in a makeshift shack where they try to live on what little food they have. A small boy, Ryuta, tries to steal their rice, but Gen catches him and is shocked at Ryuta's resemblance to Shinji. Gen and Kimie take Ryuta in after learning that Ryuta was orphaned by the bomb.

The next day, Gen and Ryuta look for food as Tomoko is suffering from malnutrition. A man gives them a job tending to his ill-tempered brother Seiji, another bomb survivor, for 10 yen a day, but the boys grow tired of the mistreatment, slap Seiji several times, and quit. Seiji begs them to come back, explaining to them that he is grateful that the boys treated him like more than a rotting corpse. Gen tells Ryuta to tell his mother where they are, and he spends the night with the man, which inspires him to paint once again. The man's brother pays them 100 yen and the boys head out to find milk for Tomoko. When they return home, they find that Tomoko is already dead.

A few weeks later, Gen and Ryuta see wheat beginning to grow despite having heard that grass would not grow. With renewed optimism, Gen, his mother, and Ryuta set a [[toro nagashi|paper boat lantern]] down the river. They then watch and pray as the boat gently sails into the sunset.
