This documentary follows artist Naoya Hatakeyama as he photographs the devastated landscape of his hometown of Rikuzentakada after 3/11. Hatakeyama, who represented Japan in the 2001 Venice Biennale and is renowned for meticulous photographs that explore the relationship between humankind and nature, suffered enormous losses on 3/11: his family home was washed away in the tsunami and his mother lost her life. The documentary delves into the artist’s deeply personal response to the disaster and explores his four-year-long mission of documenting the place of his upbringing.

The screening is part of a two-day event organised by the University of Bristol to commemorate the Fukushima triple disaster. Thanks to the director's generous permission, the screening is free of charge
