Yamakiya Taiko Club Kickstarter campaign documentary seeks your support

Konnichiwa,

The Kickstarter campaign for this documentary needs your support.

Over the past six years or so I've been working on a documentary about the Yamakiya Taiko Club from Fukushima, Japan. I am reaching out to let you know 'Don Doko Don: The Yamkiya Taiko Club Story' Kickstarter campaign was launched for this special documentary and I am seeking your support. This is the link:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1241316848/don-doko-don-the-yamakiya-taiko-drum-club-project

Don Doko Don: The Yamakiya Taiko Club Story follows an award winning Japanese Taiko Drum Troop – comprised entirely of kids, teens and 20-year-olds – living in Yamakiya, a small town near the failed Fukushima nuclear power plant. The group is forced to flee their homes and beloved mountain community after the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster wreaked devastation on them.

Living as refugees and scattered around the countryside outside and within the radiation zone, the brave Taiko troop struggles to stay together and practice; trying to keep alive the spirit of their community - and the hope of returning home one day. And then, after facing daily adversity and at their lowest point, they get invited to Washington D.C. to be the honored performer in D.C.'s 100th Cherry Blossom Festival; headlining a climatic performance at the Kennedy Center!

I've been making films for more than 20 years. It has always been a rewarding and challenging experience. I never imagined my journey would bring me to project with such an international scope and profoundly personal on so many levels.

Please check out the link and watch the video for more information. It's less than four minutes. This is an all or nothing campaign. Every contribution, whether $5, $10, $25, $50 or $100, or more, but not your 401K, brings us closer to our goal, so we can start the process to complete the project.

I hope you can support and help spread the word. If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. Thank you for your time and consideration.
