The Harimaya Bridge, written and directed by Aaron Woolfolk, stars Ben Guillory, Saki Takaoka, Misa Shimizu, and Danny Glover (who also executive produced it). It is a drama about an American man who must go to rural Japan after the sudden death of his estranged son there, and the secrets he discovers his son left behind.

The film had a nationwide release in theaters in Japan and a limited release in the U.S. The San Francisco Examiner called The Harimaya Bridge “one of the best films of the year,” while The Los Angeles Times called it “powerful” and “a unique, complex, consciousness-raising accomplishment”.

The cable and satellite operators will be watching to see how the film initially performs, which will determine how long they make it available. So please help in spreading the word.

The movie is now available for viewing on Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cablevision, AT&T, Verizon, Cogeco (Canada), MTS (Canada), Amazon VOD, Best Buy/Cinemanow VOD, Microsoft Xbox, Sony Playstation, and many, many more. People can find it on their cable or satellite systems, or learn more here:

In addition to that, the DVD and Blu-ray of the film will be available beginning October 18th. Special features will include a behind-the-scenes documentary, cast and staff interviews, and the director’s commentary. You can see a brand new minute-long trailer for the DVD/Blue-ray release here:
