One year ago, a massive earthquake hit Japan...
On March 11, 2011, Japan's Tohoku coastal region was destroyed by a 9.0
magnitude earthquake and devastating tsunami that followed. PRAY FOR
JAPAN takes place in the devastated region of Ishinomaki, Miyagi - the
largest coastal city in Tohoku with a population of over 160,000 people.
Filmmaker Stu Levy - an American living in Japan - filmed the tsunami
aftermath during his trips to Tohoku as a volunteer and over a period of
6 weeks, captured over 50 hours of footage. PRAY FOR JAPAN focuses on
four key perspectives of the tragedy - School, Shelter, Family, and
Volunteers. With each perspective we meet victims who faced significant
obstacles and fought to overcome them. Through these four vantage
points, the audience is able to understand the vast ramifications of
this large-scale natural disaster - and the battle these real-life
heroes fought on behalf of their loved ones and their hometown.
