Information Communication Team, Hiroshima Research

The Information Communication Team, which is working to spread the movie, “Iwaki Note (FUKUSHIMA VOICE)” to as many people as possible, went to Hiroshima on Aug. 21 and 22 to tour the area and attend a meeting in preparation for the showing in Hiroshima-city. The showing in Hiroshima is an ongoing project to co-host the screening with “OPERATION Tsunagari”, a student volunteer group at the University of Hiroshima for reconstruction support. The meeting was to get acquainted and to introduce each other’s activities and to exchange ideas about the theme of the screening. The manga artist, Daisuke Nishijima, who lives in Hiroshima, has also agreed to cooperate with the showing. Under a common theme, a talk session with Nishijima, Operation Tsunagari and the co-directors of “Iwaki Note (FUKUSHIMA VOICE)” to talk about the earthquake disaster from each one’s point of view is being planned for after the screening. After the meeting, we toured the city of Hiroshima, visited the Atomic Bomb Dome and Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. By touching on the issue of damages caused by the radiation from the atomic bomb, I felt that there was a need to once again discuss and share with the members the significance of showing “Iwaki Note (FUKUSHIMA VOICE)” in Hiroshima.
