Nobody talks about this one. A 20-minute short about reconstruction after the 2011 tsunami could be didactic or hollow, but instead it sits quietly with what survival actually costs and how a town rebuilds itself one decision at a time. The specificity of Shichigahama's ten-year journey transforms what could have been a memorial into something more honest: a portrait of people choosing to continue. It doesn't ask you to feel something. It shows you what resilience looks like when the cameras leave.

A decade after the March 11, 2011 earthquake and the tsunami that followed, the town of Shichigahama in Miyagi Prefecture looks back on what happened. Released by the town itself, this 20-minute animated short passes on the lessons learned from the disaster and recounts the ten years of reconstruction that followed, framing the story around disaster and recovery.
