Greathanshin Earthquake: Living Days of Revival

Synopsis

The Great Hanshin Earthquake that occurred on January 17, 1995, devastated the southern district of Hyogo prefecture. In the northern district of Noda, 30 percent of the houses were burned down and around 70 percent completely or partially destroyed. 41people were killed. In a tribute to the brave survivors of the great Hanshin Earthquake, and a sympathetic encouragement for the victims of the 921 Earthquake, director Aoike Kenji re-edits five years of footage to tell his own story of the great Hanshin Earthquake.
