多くのお客様においでいただき、大入り満員となりました。ありがとうございました。お客様からいただきましたご意見やご感想を紹介させていただきます。

• Tears did not stop. I was impressed. Thank you very much.
• It gave me courage as an opportunity to reconsider how to live as a person. I have to live well.
• It was a great movie. I hope that the awareness of the problem will be passed down to future generations through such films. I would like to ask if there is such a screening again.
• The story and the movie were very good. It was very easy to understand because I watched the movie after listening to the story. Thank you for creating a valuable opportunity.
• It was good to see the screening after the director's story. Discrimination (I feel like I understand the meaning of what was made) is still there. Nothing has changed. I wanted to think about how it would change.
• Discrimination is not enough with science alone. Feelings lose. I remembered the story that it is important to understand and act correctly in order to eliminate discrimination. I thought it was important to understand the correct knowledge of Hansen's Disease
• I once again felt that it was "discrimination" and "prejudice" that afflicted the victims of Minamata disease and Hansen's Disease And I thought it was important to be aware that "discrimination" and "prejudice" always exist around us and to look at ourselves objectively.
• It was a movie that made me understand the feeling that "I know it in science, but I can't understand it in emotions." Discrimination and prejudice were Hansen's Disease, but also about the present age.
• I felt "it is important to know" and "it is important to act after that" more deeply than in the movie. I was able to understand it scientifically and was made to think deeply about "feelings".
• Please show the new hot wall.

Next week, on Saturday, November 10th, we will hold a screening of the anime "Rainbow to the Future" and an event "Let's learn Hansen's Disease We look forward to your participation.
