Friends Meeting in Purchase NY
Here is a meeting place for Quakers in the suburb of NY.
Once inside, a hearty meal was prepared in a potluck style. Thank you for everyone in a community! Hiromi-san, the organizer of the screening, as well as Shoko Akiyama-san, Yuka Azuma-san, and Tony Sahara-san who are organizers in NY area, came to the event with home-cooked meals also 😋 Thank you for feeding Dir Ito and the team 🍽
There were too many treats to mention, including a variety of Japanese foods, homemade fruit cakes and sweets, and wild strawberries picked by Hiromi-sanIt was worth coming without lunch. First, we had a dinner with attendees and organizers 💙 Now let’s do screening.
Q&A is an important part of this screening tour. People are usually shocked by the fact shown in the film, so audience has many to say and question Dir Ito right after. In this venue, attended women asked Director Ito questions one after another.
This is one of the most common Qs coming from audience…
Q “Nuclear test is going on in U.S. currently?”
A “No, but subcritical nuclear tests are conducted.”
SUBCRITICAL NUCLEAR ⁉️ —I googled it.
”An experiment to stop a nuclear explosion just before the critical state”
The test has been conducted by successive administrations, and this is the 34th time in total. Not only in the U.S. but also in many other nuclear weapon nations.
