Screening at the Embassy of Japan in Tehran
Miracle of Bonasan was screened at the Embassy of Japan in Tehran with the
presence of guests from Japan and Iran, including artists and Tehran Peace Museum’s
survivors of chemical weapons. The movie was dubbed in Japanese with Persian
subtitles.
Prior to the screening, H.E. Kazutoshi Aikawa, ambassador of Japan in Iran
welcomed the guests and said that he has heard about the innovative attractions
of this movie through many channels including Iran’s ambassador in Tokyo. He
added that it is a pleasure for him to screen this movie in the embassy for Iranian
and Japanese guests so they can learn more about the horrific effects of the
atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and chemical attacks against Iranians.
“I am very glad that I watched this movie which is full of humanity and peace.
A lot of information was transferred to me and other audience in a very innovative
and artistic way. On the other hand, I was moved by all that human pain and suffering.
As of now, all my efforts not only as a diplomat, but also as a human being
would be for advancing this movie’s worldview and perspective in the world, and
to assist its screening at all possible levels including in my country Japan.”
