Thanks to \u00a0Jessica Kennett Cork<\/a>\u00a0(CIR, 1997-2000,\u00a0Hiroshima<\/a>-ken) <\/strong>who works for the Consulate General of Japan in Atlanta for sharing the below information about\u00a0a documentary film by an American living in Japan called Pray for Japan<\/strong> which will be screened throughout the US March 11 and 14:<\/em><\/p>\n

On March 11, 2011, Japan’s Tohoku coastal region was destroyed by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and devastating tsunami that followed.\u00a0 PRAY FOR JAPAN<\/a><\/strong> takes place in the devastated region of Ishinomaki, Miyagi<\/strong> – the largest coastal city in Tohoku with a population of over 160,000 people. Filmmaker Stu Levy<\/strong> – an American living in Japan – filmed the tsunami aftermath during his trips to Tohoku as a volunteer and over a period of 6 weeks, captured over 50 hours of footage.<\/p>\n

PRAY FOR JAPAN focuses on four key perspectives of the tragedy – School, Shelter, Family, and Volunteers. With each perspective we meet victims who faced significant obstacles and fought to overcome them. Through these four vantage points, the audience is able to understand the vast ramifications of this large-scale natural disaster – and the battle these real-life heroes fought on behalf of their loved ones and their hometown.<\/p>\n
