Unearthing Ogawa: Lessons of Reconciliation

On Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, EngageAsia reflects on post-war reconciliation between Japan and the U.S. in a panel discussion on the film "Unearthing Ogawa".

An American finds a dead Japanese soldier in a battlefield cave and tries to return the man’s diary to his Tokyo family after the war. Decades later, the American’s son retraces the footsteps, finds out what happened, and meets the Ogawa clan today. Powerful new details are revealed in Tokyo, Hiroshima, and across the United States. Part history, part travelogue, part memoir, Unearthing Ogawa brings the past alive with surprise twists, unexpected discoveries, and far-reaching compassion.

The event will feature a panel discussion with the film's director, writer, and producer Steve Meixell and editor Anthony DeLuca.
