Dr. Tetsu Nakamura, who died in Afghanistan from gunfire by armed groups while engaged in activities to construct irrigation canals, will be remembered in a screening of the documentary film “Theatre Version: Lighting a Beacon of Hope in the Wilderness.” Additionally, after the screening of this film, there will be a director’s talk.

Dr. Nakamura, who had been involved in medical work in Afghanistan and Pakistan, experienced a severe drought in Afghanistan in the summer of 2000. Amidst the drought and famine, which claimed many lives, Dr. Nakamura engaged in medical work and began a project to construct irrigation canals. Through this film, which sheds light on life, we will question what true peace is.
