— The “Gaia Symphony” documentary film series—the first section of which was released in Japan in 1992—delivers the message that planet earth is a living organism and we humans are given lives as part of that organism. This strong message captivated the hearts of many viewers who were interested in environmental protection as well as the relationship between the earth and people, and eventually led to the production of a total of six films to date. Films in the “Gaia Symphony” series have been presented in many places, both inside and outside Japan solely on a non-profit basis. Indeed, the series is a hidden, enduring hit that has not resorted to commercial distribution.
Since 200 of the 270 total available tickets were sold immediately after sales started, with many more people expressing an interest, the Friends decided to hold a second screening on Sunday, October 28 at 2 pm in Spalding Auditorium at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa.
