あずさ・オークリーさんのスピーチより・・・

I found this movie "GATE - Atomic Flame" accidentally,

while searching news articles about a proposal for Hiroshima city and Nagasaki city

to put in a joint bid for the 2020 Olympics. 

I am not a member of the Global Nuclear Disarmament Fund which made this movie,

I am not a Buddhist either.

But I was really impressed by this movie 

and found many people similarly impressed are organizing fund raising screenings.

 So I thought I would also like to screen this movie in Perth

so that many more people can have the opportunity to see it.

＊＊＊

After I watched this movie "GATE",

I thought about what I can do. I am from Kitakyushu-city,

 formerly KOKURA city which was one of the 4 biggest industrial areas in Japan.

 Even now tons of iron ore and gas from Western Australia is imported.

Kokura was originally the second target of the Atomic Bomb

but due to thick fog, ended up exploding in Nagasaki city

 on the 9^th of August 1945.

If, it was a clear day above Kokura city,

my parents might have been dead and I wouldn't have been here.

I am fine and I live in Perth now.

 So I would like to screen this movie to many more people

and hope that everyone will think about what they can do.

This is the reason we have the movie tonight.

 

Perth is the 4^th place screening both in English and in Japanese,

outside of Japan, following New York, Hawaii, South Africa.

 And, thanks to St. Davi's Church,

this is the first time to screen the movie in a church.

Ohta Jushoku, in the movie said,

"Determination of one person can inspire the core of all humanity 

to follow in the same path.

Use this for "good" and you will succeed"

I couldn't have this screening without great help by St. David's Church,

JET Alumni Association, JA News, friends and you the audience tonight.

Thank you all for your great help.

 

Thank you for listening. Enjoy the movie.
