The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom, nominated for the 2012 Oscar Documentary Short Films' Award, is a documentary filmed in Japan after the devastating tsunami of March 11th 2011. It shares the journey of survivors in the areas hardest hit, who find the courage to revive and rebuild right as the cherry blossom season comes to that area, a symbol of hope and new beginnings in Japanese culture.
In Japan, cherry blossoms are a metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life....associated with Buddhism.
