Under Construction
ROUTE 45
ルート45
Takano Hiroyuki
Japan/52min./2012
This is a documentary, filming the Route 45 which is along the coastline in the damaged area; and also the railroad line by vehicle front-facing cameras. Recording from Hachinohe City in Aomori to Sendai City in Miyagi, I feared of the damage caused by the tsunami; driving through a very long distance. Despite there is nothing in the tsunami-affected area and it spreads the same landscape, I could feel regional characteristics and differences of the ambient atmosphere, just passing the car.
