There is much more to Tohoku than the infamous big wave that hit the north east coast of Japan in March 2011.
'Tohoku no Shingetsu' delicately weaves history, dreams, memories and desires of the people who share their stories firsthand.
Stories of love, pain, grief, anger, and joy, resilience, and vulnerability. All qualities which make us human. Moving. Inspiring. Poignant. Thought provoking.
Cry and laugh with these ordinary yet extraordinary people.
Young children. Husbands, wives, families. A doctor, a seasoned fisherman, two mayors, mothers and fathers. Grandpas, grandmas, farmers, and the mystical leader of the legendary samurai of Fukushima.
All of them reflect Tohoku's (Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima provinces) past and present.
In beautiful scenes filmed on location, we see how their culture abd traditions make them both strong and susceptible as they recover their lives and communities from a harsh disaster.
This feature documentary will be released later in 2015.
