An earthquake, a wave, a nuclear disaster. The prefectures Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima have been hit the hardest by the 3/11 catastrophe. In her inspirational debut-documentary “Life Goes On”, filmmaker Mia Yoon shows the true stories of people struggling and rebuilding their lives after they have lost everything.
“Life Goes On” was part of the selection of the Japannual Film Festival in Vienna.
For example, there is Shinichi Edo, a carpenter from Ishinomaki. He lost his house and kids in the tsunami.
