Hometown Stories S2015E2: The Sky We Share - Friendship at the End of an Osaka Runway
- Aired: 2015-12-27
- Runtime: 30 minutes
Overview
Southeast of Osaka Airport runs a river embankment where airplanes swoop less than 100 meters overhead. Sleek, thundering jets that pass with a rush of wind make for a heart-pounding sight. Regulars come every day to this spot: a man fighting cancer; a woman who lost custody of her children as she suffered depression; people with complex troubles. As they look up at the sky together watching the planes, they form a community that gives them the courage to move forward in their lives.
