Reason to Wake Up

Japan, from the inside.

I'm Yuta. I go looking for Japanese people who have a reason to get up in the morning — a rice farmer, a hunter, a craftsman, a woman who saved a 200-year-old house from being torn down.

I film them in Japanese, and subtitle it for you. At the end of every film, I ask the same question:

"What gets you out of bed in the morning?"

No temples. No neon. No top-ten lists. Just people, and the lives they chose.

New film every Thursday.
