by てんつくマン
Movie Description: Every single day, we face many 'choices'. These choices that we make can be BIG or small but definitely make an effect to our lives, and to the world around us. This two hour documentary film talks about the importance of 'conscious choice' ~seeing what options are available, and choosing the one..just for YOU. This movie is also a love-letter from adults to children in which the way we live should be a role model for our next generation. This documentary consists of four main stories including Yoshimura Clinic in Aichi Prefecture which specializes in natural child birth, planting trees in China to prevent global warming, supporting an orphanage in Cambodia, and terminal cancer patients/survivors who ran the Honolulu Marathon to achieve their dreams.You will find these stories show the true meaning of life. *The whole movie is subtitled in English.*
About Movie Director - Tentsukuman: Tentsukuman used to be a popular Japanese comedian but quit to pursue the dream of making his own films. He started off by being a street artist to raise money for the movie and was able to complete his first film. However, through film making process, he realized what he really wanted to do was to make this world filled with happiness and smiles. He then created an NPO called "MAKE THE HEAVEN" and began helping people all over the world and even started his own village in Kagawa Prefecture. In his village he taught kids how to farm, build houses, and how to live a simple life. He soon realized that everything he's doing is a movie in itself. He is working on his next documentary on how to prevent cancer as well as starting a new village in Hokkaido to support even more people including tsunami survivors.
About "Megumi Japan": This foundation is part of "MAKE THE HEAVEN". It was started right after the earthquake to support tsunami survivors. Their initial goal was to bring food, water, blankets and clothes to the survivors. Now, their main focus is post-tsunami debris clean up and to provide emotional support. They also started a new project called "SEEDS OF HOPE" in May. This is a project where Megumi Japan plant flower seeds with the survivors at evacuation centers, and after clean up of the debris. "SEEDS OF HOPE" stickers will be sold at the event.
