Advance screening at Sakurazaka Theater in Okinawa from 7/31
Theatrical release at Theater Image Forum and other venues from 8/7
<Message from the Director
“Okinawa Santos” has been playing at Sakurazaka Theater since July 31, 2021.
It has been five years since we began filming, and we are finally able to deliver the film to audiences safely.
Amid intense media coverage of the Olympics and the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, we are truly grateful that so many people came to see it.
At the same time, it became clear that, due to the current COVID-19 situation, some people who had planned to attend were unable to make it.
As expected of an audience in Okinawa, a prefecture known for its history of emigration, the Q&A session featured highly insightful questions — including ones about conflicts and rivalries within migrant communities.
