Join us this Tuesday for the world premiere of an inspiring film series inviting you to explore Tohoku, Japan, through the eyes of real people, businesses, and communities rebuilding their lives and working towards the future.

 

JETAANC is proud to present the "113 Project: Reclaiming Tohoku" film series to mark the 5th Anniversary of the March 11, 2011, earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster in Tohoku, Japan. The films tell five powerful human stories of hope and recovery in the face of unimaginable tragedy. 

 

The event benefits the Taylor Anderson Memorial Fund, which has helped the children and families of Tohoku recover in amazing ways as a tribute to the memory of Taylor Anderson, a Japan Exchange & Teaching (JET) Program teacher who lost her life in the disaster.
