Film

What I learned from cycling 6 times around the world.

The main cast is Mr.Hideki Matsumoto who lives in a slum as a manual worker, 60years old.

The place where he usually lives is 500yen per night.

He is an environmental activist and speaker who has given around 2000 lectures at universities and various venues around the world.

He started traveling all over Japan and around the world as a child.

He has traveled to 135 countries and circled 6 times around the world by bicycle.

He was the former owner-president of a big construction company with $30 million in sales.
And he built nuclear power plants and was a member of the nuclear power plants construction promotion group.

But he suddenly resigned from all of that.

Because that big earthquake occurred in Japan at that time.

小楠健志

Kenji Ogusu wikipedia

I was the world's first professional MMA fighter in the flyweight division. I was ranked #2 in the World MMA Ranking.

But I am also a creator. I have written 26 books and created many works.

And I had many opportunities to meet so many interesting people in my life. In the process, I interviewed them and started making videos of the interviews myself.

While doing so, I realized that the way to express their minds, emotions, and hearts is through film.

And I began a new career as a filmmaker.

What I want to express in the movie is despair, courage, and hope. The reason why I think so is that hope is created by despair. I believe that hope and despair are in direct proportion. And there is courage between them.

The audience wants to see courage in movies. The reason why I think so maybe that I was an MMA fighter.

I made this film because I wanted to depict courage, despair, and hope in the film.
