Director Stu Levy announced that his documentary film Pray For Japan will feature a newly produced opening anime sequence. The film chronicles the aftermath of the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami that devastated much of the country's northeast coast on March 11, 2011.
A feature-length documentary, the film focuses on the rescue and clean-up operations following the disaster, as well as humanitarian efforts by volunteers. The film also interviews survivors of the disaster about their lives since the incident took place.
Pray for Japan will have its world premiere on March 6 in Japan at the Cinem@rt Shinjuku, Tokyo. AMC Theaters will screen the documentary in 17 North American cities on March 14 at 7:00 p.m. local time, with proceeds benefiting the Japan Emergency NGO (JEN).

東日本大震災のドキュメンタリー映画『PRAY FOR JAPAN 〜心を一つに〜』のワールドプレミアが3月6日に新宿で開催される.
Santa Claus arrived in Japan from Finland, bringing cheer on July 26 to children who evacuated to Saitama Prefecture from areas near the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.
About 50 children rejoiced as Santa in summer attire -- wearing white shirt, red vest and green shorts -- gave them sweets at a former high school building in Kazo, Saitama Prefecture, where many of the residents from the town of Futaba are taking refuge.
Santa said he arrived the day before as he learned about the March quake and tsunami that hit Japan.
