Sakura

Directed by Sarah Morris

Sakura traces the culture and undercurrents of the city of Osaka, capturing individuals and sites as varied as the famous Sakura paint and pastel factory, UNESCO-recognized Bunraku theater, late pre-eminent Japanese architect Kira Kurosawa's police prefect, the Yamazaki Suntory Distillery and the Nobel Prize-winning molecular scientist Sonya Yamanaka, during the anticipated moment of the blossoming of cherry trees in Japan.
