A Japanese documentary on the 1959 Typhoon Vera, titled "Sorezore no Isewan Taifu" ("Each Person's Isewan Typhoon"), will begin screening on Saturday in three prefectures in the Tokai region.
The film features firsthand accounts from the typhoon's few remaining survivors and puts together a complete picture of the tropical cyclone, ending with lessons to be learned from the past.
"Most of the children and their parents don't even know about the typhoon," said 42-year-old producer Motoshi Kato, who was born in Asahi, Mie Prefecture, after Typhoon Vera.
