Director Doris Dörrie (Cherry Blossoms, How to Cook Your Life) returns to form with this black and white homage. Winner of the Panorama Award at the Berlin Film Festival.
Speaker: Ryo Morimoto, a post-doc at Harvard University whose interests include anthropology and disaster, culture and sudden change, and memory and material objects. He spent a year doing field work in Minami-sōma, Fukushima, the area featured in the film.
