Beautiful, humane work.

Hey, I'll log into that hole of a website just to leave you a review, Greg Lam.

My GF and I are Russians, we have practically no ties to Japanese people apart from doing a lot of anime-related events in our life. I almost envy the way you tell people stories in general, being thoughtful, inquisitive yet very patient and courteous. You feel like a very... humanitarian person to me.

And the way you entered that journey because you felt strongly about the multi-faceted issue (that would be a non-issue to someone else) and dedicated it to your beautiful kids makes this film, along with your skills and beautiful scenery. Nice lenses also help. :)

It's a travesty to see this 3-star review, to me. We watched almost in silence and applauded afterwards. You can tell that thought, heart, skill went into it, you can tell right away. I'm sure your Youtube channel has a different, positive response (or I hope so) to the work, but I felt many different things, I was educated on something, and it was a feast for the eyes. Anything BUT boring, for someone who watches a good deal of docus of different origin, I think.

Thank you for your work. I hope its life extends beyond just (not) entertaining somebody.

Boring and absolutely uninteresting

I have high hope to see this documentary, but it turned out quite boring. I fell asleep after fifteen minutes. I don't like the way the guy who made it. The jump-around interviews and those who were interviewed are just boring people. That maybe the reason why I couldn't control my eyelids to close up and doze off.
