How Did You Survive the Day March 11?

あなたは2011年3月11日をどのように過ごしましたか?

Japan/65min./2013

The internal region of Sendai City, the place I live, fell into confusion when fuel, food, and other daily resources went out of stock in the aftermath of the earthquake. "How you survived the March 11?" has interviews with my friends in Sendai explaining how they acted on March 11th. Each of them faced disasters of their own. They tell the viewer details of the main incident and also about how they acted individually. They express the hardships they went through and how difficult it was for them to accept the situation. After hearing other's stories, they were able to understand that everyone faced similar struggles. After watching this film, I hope you take the time to discuss this with your family and friends.
