I don't really know where to begin with this. Um. I started making this video back in March after the tsunami and earthquake had passed but I never could find a fitting song to overlay to the images. I finally found it.
I had a lot of problems finishing this video. It was heartbreaking to re-visit a lot of the images that I had seen.
I live in Canada. I'm not Japanese. But for me it didn't matter. I saw a lot of people get washed away by the tsunami or lose family members or get displaced by the ongoing nuclear crisis. It stuck with me. It was something I could not get out of my mind. Every day after March 11th was something new. Something worse. A lot of people over there will never get to say final goodbyes to their loved ones who never made it. People who had to make decisions in positions of authority to either save their families or help others do the same, and made the ultimate sacrifice by putting other people before themselves To forget about the people over there now would do them a disservice they do not deserve.
I donated to the Japanese Red Cross at every opportunity, purchased charity auction items and tried to raise awareness. I really don't feel like I accomplished much. I only raised $600 while celebrities donated millions. I wish I could have gone over and helped. Too many people had nobody to talk to or nobody to lean on after losing so much.
What else is there to say?.
