FUKUSHIMA TO PRESENT DOCUMENTARY ANIMATION FILM OF "FIVE YEARS AFTER THE GREAT EAST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE"

FUKUSHIMA, Japan, March 30 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Fukushima prefectural government released a series of documentary animations entitled "Letters to the Future -On Our Way There-" on February 15, 2016. Presented as an anthology based on true stories, the animations depict events that occurred after the Great East Japan Earthquake and the various emotions experienced by people living in the prefecture. The animation films are available at a specially set up website: http://miraitegami.jp/en/.

Five years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake struck Fukushima on March 11, 2011. Although reconstruction has progressed with the rebuilding of devastated buildings and such, the area is still burdened with a number of problems including harmful rumors that have damaged the reputation of the area's agricultural and marine products. In order to eliminate these problems, the prefecture has decided to introduce the world to the "light" and "shadow" of today's Fukushima through Japan's world-renowned culture of animation.
