Montreal International Animation FIlm Festival annual edition August 17  - 20  2017 (MIAFF) is thrilled to announce the official North American premiere of JUNOD to take place August 19th.

Junod produced by Shizuko Tsuya with direction and storyboards by Shinichiro Kimura, is also based on a true story, with a time traveling twist. In 1945, a Swiss doctor named Marcel Junod is appointed head of the Red Cross delegation to Japan. Shocked by the devastation he finds in Hiroshima following the United States’ atomic bombing, Dr. Junod successfully campaigns for medical supplies and devotes himself to treating the victims. Visitors from the present, Mii and Yuko, witness his work and learn about the motivation behind his selfless dedication. (Studio Hibari). www.junod.biz.
