I remember the original #documentary where they featured Cimu. I didn't know they visited her again.
Warning: very touching and teary
So, where can I watch 『劇場版 再会長江』 ( https://www.saikaichoko.com )
I wish it's available in #Viu Philippines or #Netflix Philippines
Fascinating #documentary on the #Challenger space shuttle #disaster. Apparently #NASA withheld quite a bit of #information from the #public for decades.
While it was true the rubber O rings failed due to subfreezing temperatures, NASA ignored engineers warnings and proceeded with the launch. What isn't true is the #astronauts vaporizing due to the #explosion. Withheld #evidence showed not only were they aware, they activated #emergency air tanks and were passengers trapped in a cabin on a #terrifying high speed freefall which slammed into the ocean.

WATCH: “Keep the family healthy.” Those were some of the last words Clifford Thomas’ mother said to him.
But in Albany, a town with a health care monopoly and no Medicaid expansion, staying healthy is a luxury that many are priced out of.

All we need to do tonight.
Switch off your brain, open your heart and watch this film as a meditation.
In November 2017, twelve highly spiritual wisdom keepers from around the globe agreed to gather at the United Nations in New York City in a council called The Council of Twelve and Above. Setting their cultural differences aside, they conducted a unique ritual in complete unity on an ancestral point of concentrated energy. The United Nations sits on this point. Together they created the matrix of a new reality in which humans can live in harmony and love amongst themselves and with Nature.
