[KineJapan] Documentary on the storm damage at Kawasaki City Museum

[Gerow Aaron]

The Kawasaki City Museum has uploaded a 40 minute documentary detailing their efforts to rescue the items in their collection that were damaged when a typhoon flooded all their storage vaults in October 2019. 20:50 to 26:50 in particular covers the state of the vaults for manga and film, as well as some of the early efforts to rescue the films.

It is painful to watch, especially as you see the state of some of the films—some of which are the negatives.
