One day film and talk event – Oscar nominated film, The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom, followed by a speech by the Governor of Miyagi and panel discussion.

11 November 2012, Brunei Gallery Lecture Theatre, The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)

On 11 March 2011, Japan's most powerful earthquake struck the north-east coast (Tohoku), triggering a massive tsunami. Since then, numerous aid activities and reconstruction efforts have been made all over the world and they are still on-going.

This one day event is to reflect on the events of 2011 and to look forward to the rebuilding of lives affected by the tsunami by hosting a private screening of an Oscar nominated short documentary film, the Tsunami and the cherry blossom, followed by a talk by the governor of Miyagi prefecture, one of the worst hit area by the tsunami, and discussion by key figures from UK and Japan on the rebuilding of the Tohoku area.

Event is free, but booking is essential.
