A Japanese friend here on Salt Spring Island sends notice of this lovely film, just watched and highly recommended:
A friend, self sufficient farmer just across the Pacific Ocean in our village in Japan made a very beautiful documentary film of the people who keep their peaceful, traditional lifestyle in a reciprocal relationship with nature. It follows their vigorous resistance against a Nuclear Plant Construction as well as the current lives of people from Fukushima. This is an example of representation of local people, by local people. It may be too slow for us who used perceive ‘always much too fast film these days.’ Plz enjoy slowness too. (There are English subtitles.)
