Abstract:

Light Up Nippon documents the mission of a group of volunteers to set off fireworks on the night of August 11, 2011 in more than 10 towns and cities hit by the earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011. The film tells a bittersweet story, of the pursuit to remind everyone the original meaning of fireworks: as both a memorial to the victims and as a sign of hope.
