Hero of the Cuban revolution, Ernesto "Che" Guevara still continues to fascinate people around the world by his way of living through his own belief and unparalleled charisma. He lost his life on the Bolivian front in 1967. Around the same time, there was a Japanese-American who acted along-side of Guevara in Bolivia and was given the first name from Guevara as the warrior's name. That man's name is Freddy Maemura. Born as a Nisei, Freddy aimed to be a doctor and studied at University of Havana in Cuba. When he met Guevara in the midst of the Cuban Missile crisis, he was deeply fascinated with Guevara and joined the unit of Guevara. Then he confronted the Bolivian military dictatorship.
In 2017, fifty years after death of Guevara, "Another Guevara" will come back!

His way of “educating” , “painting” and “living” is absolutely unique.
Maintaining a relationship with a teacher like him, will make your life straight forward.
The painter Takumi Sejima is a professor at an Art University. He paints , carries out creative activities , flies his radio controlled planes and uttering words ceaselessly, which makes his sleeping time extremely short .
His title for his work has never changed , which is “ THE RUNNER” He diffuses all his energy ,sprints , as he still keeps his boyhood inside himself.
He is taken as an unprecedented ,freewheeling , happy go lucky person. However, as said , "there are shadows where there are lights", he shoulders a fate , which is revealed in the movie.
This is a stimulating human documentary which is intense, passionate, and inspiring !
