<p class="ydpf6b4e443MsoNormal">Thank you for this, Aaron. It’s a story that needs telling.</p>
<p class="ydpf6b4e443MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;layout-grid-mode:char;mso-layout-grid-align:none">I’m curious about two language aspects of the film. There’s no reason why
you should have the answers but I’ll express my curiosity.</p>
<p class="ydpf6b4e443MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;layout-grid-mode:char;mso-layout-grid-align:none">The first relates to its making. Has the film had a prior life as a
Japanese-language doc.? There doesn’t seem to be anything very recent on
Matsubayashi’s ja-wiki page, or on KineNote. Is there anywhere else I can look
? The credits in english contain only Japanese names, apart for the english
voice of the Welsh actor, Michael Rhys. Who wrote the english narration we are
hearing ?</p>
<p class="ydpf6b4e443MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;layout-grid-mode:char;mso-layout-grid-align:none">The second relates to the content. The eighty-something survivors of the
forced migration all speak in portuguese. The following generations of
Japanese-Brazilians generally speak japanese. I’d love to know whether this is
elective and in what language(s) is the delivery in the <span> </span>Japanese schools that they refer to.</p>
