On Nov. 14 (Friday), the Information Communication Team held a showing of “Iwaki Note (FUKUSHIMA VOICE) with English subtitles” at the University of Tsukuba, International Students Center. After the showing, the student directors and participants all took part in a group discussion and deepened their thoughts and understanding of the movie and of the earthquake.
The foreign students who saw the movie commented that they were glad to learn about the situation in Fukushima, that they saw the strength of Japan and that they wished they could show the movie to the people back in their countries. They also asked the student directors about the safety of the radiation problem in Japan. The cross-border discussion was conducted in a mixture of English and Japanese, and became far more heated than expected. (Iida)
