    Amazing people!

    There are countless things that make us so sad and helpless from what happened on Mar 11, 2011 in Japan, but this film shows the strong sides of people in Tohoku with help from selfless volunteers and supports from all over Japan and the world. I brought a bunch of tissues before I went into the theater, but it was not about how sad the event was. 100% of this film was made by all volunteers. Even the theaters are not making any profit on this film so that all the proceeds will be donated fairly help the people in Japan. Courage, bravely, kindness, help, appreciation, resilience, looking forward... all these words belong to this film.

    A great documentary showing how the people of Japan are trying to rebuild their lives

    Was able to see this at the AMC theaters in Torrance, California and was excited to see it. The film is split into four parts talking about Family, Shelter, School and Volunteers. Every story that was told was amazing hear. Of course some were more sad than others so prepare tissues. It's very refreshing to see a documentary like this; showing us how the people in the affected areas are working towards the future and not looking back to the past. Not many people outside of Japan really know how the rebuilding process is going, so after watching this you can have an understanding at what the Japanese people are doing and are still currently doing. I would strongly recommend this film to everyone.

    • Trivia
      All profits from the film are donated to the non-profit organization JEN for their recovery projects in Tohoku.
    • Crazy credits
      The credit roll for Pray For Japan runs 9 minutes, not counting the end sequence which was done as a temporary credit roll for the version submitted to Sundance. This was necessary to accommodate the army of volunteers in Japan, China and the United States who made post-production of the film possible.
