An earthquake, a wave, a nuclear disaster. The prefectures Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima have been hit the hardest by the 3/11 catastrophe. In her inspirational debut-documentary “Life Goes On”, filmmaker Mia Yoon shows the true stories of people struggling and rebuilding their lives after they have lost everything.
“Life Goes On” was part of the selection of the Japannual Film Festival in Vienna.
For example, there is Shinichi Edo, a carpenter from Ishinomaki. He lost his house and kids in the tsunami. Together with his wife, Ryoko and a volunteer group he started a daycare at the place where his house used to be. In Kawauchi, within the 30km evacuation zone of the nuclear plant of Fukushima, Yoshitaka Akimoto carries on the rice cultivation, that his family started 14 generation ago.
The documentary is about carrying on, but also about keeping the memory alive. One of the best role models for that...
