Paper City
synopsis
Paper City tells the story of three survivors of the 1945 fire-bombing of Tokyo as they launch one final campaign to leave behind a record of this forgotten tragedy - before the last of them passes away. Using paper as a central metaphor - a means of documenting the past that is as fragile as life itself - Paper City will explore the power and frailty of memory. And, in giving a voice to the Tokyo survivors, it will shine a light on the lasting impact of civilian-targeted air raids.
