Documentary story of a sugar cane farmer in Asakura city, Fukuoka.

In July, 2017, a devastating flood took 42 lives in Kyushu.

The flood left a huge scar in Asakura city damaging most of the crops.

One of the regional products, "Minagi Sugar" faced a danger of extinction.

Will the tradition die by the disaster?

​

Kyushu Asahi Broadcasting's camera crew voluntarily filmed this short documentary on how this sugarcane farmer bounced back from the disaster destruction.
