Hi Blog. \u00a0Great news. \u00a0A movie that has been close to a decade in the making is finally hitting the silver screen: \u00a0A documentary on child abductions after divorce in Japan<\/a> (something I have personal experience with; I was interviewed regarding the Murray Wood Case<\/a> six years ago; the documentary project has since expanded into something much, much bigger and my interview got cut. \u00a0Ah well, DVD extras…?). \u00a0Directors David Hearn and Matt Antell have this to say:<\/p>\n

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From The Shadows<\/strong>, a documentary film about Parental Child abduction in Japan, will premiere at the Philadelphia Film Festival\u00a0on October 23rd and October 27th. This film follows the lives of 5 “Left Behind Parents” trying desperately to reconnect with their children after having their child-parent relationship cut by the other parent. Through their individual stories we examine why this situation is so common in Japan and hear opinions from an array of experts on the situation. The film has had work-in-progress screenings on Capitol Hill (Nov. 2011) and in Tokyo (Apr. 2012) that was attended by the foreign ministry and several embassy reps.<\/em>
\nThe screening venues and times for the Philadelphia Film Festival are:<\/em><\/p>\n

1. Tuesday October 23rd, 5:00 pm \u00a0– Prince Music Theater – 1412 Chestnut Street\u00a0\u00a0Philadelphia, PA 19102<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\n2. Saturday October 27th 7:35 pm \u00a0– Ritz East – 125 South Second Street\u00a0\u00a0Philadelphia, PA 19106<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
