Learn Together: Understanding the World and Refugees – 'LOST LAND' Special Screening with Talk [World Refugee Day]

Event Overview In observance of World Refugee Day (June 20), the Japan Association for Refugees (JAR) is organizing a special screening of the film 'LOST LAND' followed by a discussion at Kino Cine Shinjuku in Tokyo. The film centers on Rohingya refugee children who fled Myanmar for Bangladesh.

Following the screening, a talk session will be held featuring guests including 10-year-old actor Liliriana Ohno (voice of the main character in 'Totto-chan: The Little Girl at the Window'), director Akio Fujimoto, and Harunari Khadija, a Rohingya refugee currently residing in Japan.

In the first half of the discussion, Liliriana Ohno, who is the same age as the film's protagonists, will share her questions and insights. The latter half will feature a Q&A session where children in the audience can ask questions. The event aims to encourage attendees to view refugee issues not as distant events, but as matters directly connected to our own society.
