SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Takaaki Abe, CEO of Granpa Corporation: "The biggest problem in disaster-struck regions is that people do not have places to work. If jobs cannot be found locally, residents will leave their hometown. That is why I felt strongly that this place needs to be protected and I wanted to provide a working environment. This is a small farm but I have 24 local hires now and they are such hard workers. People are sincere and loyal and I was so moved by it. I'm really glad that I came." 17. Close of elderly worker 18. Wide tilt up from vegetables to worker 19. SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Migaku Suzuki, 69-year-old worker at the farm: "Everyone here wants to find something to do after the disaster. But the elderly people are not really given a chance. Even at the temporary housing complex where I live, there are many young people that cannot find jobs. I am most grateful to be given this opportunity (to work at the farm)." 20. Close of lettuce being packaged 21. Wide of lettuce being packaged by a machine 22.

SOUNDBITE (Japanese) Satsuko Nakamura, worker of Granpa farm in her mid-50's: "It gets depressing staying home. You look around and people are unhappy and if you don't have a job on top of it all, it would get unbearably depressing. This company which is an outside help provided us not only with a job but it created a fun challenge as well as enabled us to meet new friends. I enjoy every moment being here." 26.

SOUNDBITE (Japanese) Takaaki Abe, CEO of Granpa Corporation: "In a recovery from disaster, what is important is how well the local government accepts the outside help. In Rikuzentakada's case, the local government embraced the idea of receiving outside help so it made it very easy for us to be involved. On the other hand, there are cases where local governments want to handle recovery and reconstruction on their own so outsiders could be pushed out. I believe that is the reason for the slow recovery." 30. Flags of Rikuzentakada's local government and the Japanese flag 31. Wide exterior of the temporary municipal office 32. Introductory shot of Mayor Futoshi Toba 33. SOUNDBITE (Japanese) Futoshi Toba, Rikuzentakata Mayor "Tough times bring opportunities - opportunities like making new acquaintances that would not have happened if we weren't put in this situation. Rikuzentakata faced a major disaster but why not think of it as an opportunity to be reborn." 34. Wide of Rikuzentakata view 35.
