Information
Nine months after the disaster in Tohoku, Yu gazed at a picture left by her grandfather, a drawing of the sea of Kesennuma. Several months later, winter and spring had turned to summer. And yet, the restoration of the community had made very little progress. The slow pace only increased the 12-year-old girl's hope for revival of the once lively area. The program follows her growth and the endeavors of others to restore the place they call home.
