A screening event for the documentary film 'Return to My Blue' (Director/Producer: Yutaka Noguchi), which depicts the journey of a family with medically cared-for children challenging an uninhabited island camp, will be held on April 19, 2026, at "Burano Oyama," a welfare base in Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture. Following the screening, a talk session with the family who actually participated in the uninhabited island camp is also planned.
The organizer, General Incorporated Association Burano, is developing the outdoor project "INCLUSIVE CAMP" with the aim of creating a society where children with medical care needs and their families can also access nature experiences. Through the record of the family's challenge on an uninhabited island, this screening event aims to create an opportunity to re-examine the "assumptions of impossibility" present in society.
■ Recording the Challenge of Children with Medical Care Needs and Their Families
The film 'Return to My Blue' is a documentary that follows the story of a family with medically cared-for children who challenged camping on an uninhabited island where power and medical facilities are limited.
For children who require medical equipment, an uninhabited island without electricity is considered a difficult place to choose. This work, while confronting that premise, details the preparations and the actual challenge undertaken by the family. Their experience offers new possibilities for situations that have been deemed "difficult due to medical care needs."
The work has also been recognized at international film festivals, winning awards at multiple international film festivals such as the LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, INDEPENDENT SHORTS AWARDS, Peshawar International Film Festival, and Chicago Cinema AWARDS.
