5 Things You Should Know About The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom
Rooted in themes of death and rebirth, The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom is an emotive ode to the victims of the 2010 tsunami in Japan. Veteran doc filmmaker Lucy Walker interweaves amateur footage and poetic cinematography to produce a tableau of the rebirth of nature and the resilience of man. The short film won the Jury Prize in Short Filmmaking, Non-Fiction, at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and was nominated that same year for Best Documentary (short subject) at the Academy Awards.
