**About Film**
"Pale Blue Dot - If You Smile"
\- “Pale Blue Dot” is the nickname of a photograph taken by Voyager 1 as it left the solar system\, capturing Earth from about 6 billion kilometers away\.
\- This image suggests that\, in the vastness of the universe\, all events and human activities on Earth are incredibly small and fragile\.
\- Inspired by this photograph\, the film reflects on the origins of life\, the importance of water on Earth\, and the meaning of our existence\, with insights from scientists and spiritual leaders\.
\- Just as water reflects the path of Earth\, the film invites us to sense the soul in the journey of life itself\.

Wellness

Began losing his eyesight at age 13 and became completely blind at 16. After a difficult youth, he found new purpose and attended Kumamoto Prefectural School for the Blind.
At 39, he moved to San Diego to open an acupuncture clinic, developing a new technique called finger-needle therapy to help patients fearful of traditional needles.
In April 2019, he overcame blindness to sail across the Pacific Ocean with a U.S. partner—becoming the first blind person in the world to accomplish this feat.  He is now preparing for a solo Pacific crossing in 2027.
