War and the Power to Live Program supported by Red Cross
As globalism accelerates a border-less world, any events happening to others might befall us here in Japan too. At any given moment in this planet, there are people affected by conflicts, terrorism or urban violence. Get to know and imagine the different lives and circumstances depicted in our selected short films. Then why not you start with people around you showing that you care and lend your strength and support a universal “Power to Live”?
