Gate "Atomic Flame "

Video: http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks1M5PolJqc GATE: The Movie (2008) | Global Nuclear Disarmament Fund

The Epic “Return to Trinity” was filmed as major documentary-drama in July 2005 that was released as a powerful documentary movie in July 2008 in Japan. Narrated by Nanako Matsushima, with exclusive dramatic footage of the 1600 mile walk across the desert and over Mountains ending with the powerful silent ceremony at the Trinity Site, this movie follows a parallel humanitarian mission of peace.

The story follows several Zen Monks on their path to unifying the world by closing a 60 year circle of fear and opening a new circle that will empower future generations with the ability to reduce the threat of nuclear weapons. In 25 days, they travel 1600 miles and through 250 communities in order to spread a message of peace to the world.

This epic walk for humanity begins on the northern walkway between Pier 35 and world famous Pier 39, with the Tall Ship Nippon Maru as the back drop. The Japanese community from throughout California will be present, together with people from all over the world who will send off the Monks by walking together with them from Pier 39 to SBC Park. After which, the main caravan of motor homes, walkers, and monks will travel through 250 communities that will carry the “Atomic Flame” together with the Monks for a short distance, to share this historic experience with hundreds of peace-walkers from all over the world as they journey to the Trinity Site. The walk is being filmed and will be shown throughout the world as part of a movie.

The Movie was directed by veteran America-Japanese Film Maker / Producer, and co-executive director of the Global Nuclear Disarmament Fund, Matt Taylor.

As of September 2009, the only showings of GATE have been in New York, USA and in Japan. I’m hoping to see the message of this movie spread farther.

Money raised from movie entrance fee, sales of GND Fund Official Goods (*) will benefit the Global Nuclear Disarmament Fund and will be used to destroy surplus nuclear weapons and turn them into bracelets, sold to the general public to generate more money to secure more nuclear weapons.

この世に二度と同じ悲劇を起こさないと願ったある日本の僧侶たちの祈りの行脚。2005年7月、僧侶たちは、アメリカンインディアン、宗教や宗派を越えた平和を祈る様々な人々と共に、アメリカ、サンフランシスコから、世界最初の核実験が行われたニューメキシコ州のトリニティサイトまで、砂漠、山、250以上の街を越え、灼熱の中、2500kmの旅をした。60年間、祈りとともに絶やす事なく燃やし続けた大切なものを運んで。広島の原爆投下から採取した原爆の火。すべてが始まった悲劇の原点、グラウンド・ゼロ（爆心地）にその火を戻し、負の連鎖を絶ち永遠に眠らせる。

60年間、一度も開かれることのなかったトリニティサイトのゲイトは、果たして開かれるのだろうか。僧侶たちは、目的地であるトリニティサイトへ、一体どのようにして辿り着けたのか…。
