Thursday Salon Report
- Theme:
- Documentary Short Film “We Are Linked ” (running time of 30 minutes)
Date of event: Aug. 7, 2014
First inspired by the Damah Film Festival in Hiroshima in 2012, “We Are Linked” is a documentary film, directed by Man Lam and shot in April 2013 in Hiroshima, made in the hopes of world peace.
Director Man Lam lost his grandfather in World War II.
The film includes an interview with the mother of Mr. Tsubouchi, whom Man Lam met in Hiroshima, and a recounting of her experience as a victim of the atomic bombing.
This film, as a healing “finest gift for families” in which sadness is shared between both sides, offers watchers the opportunity to pause and consider once more the nature of peace.

Knowledge Donor Interview
- How do you feel about having taken part in the Thursday Salon?

- What do you expect from the Knowledge Salon in the future?
- I’d like to see a lot more people come. That’s all.
