The purpose of this project is to produce an English version of the movie "Irabu of Okinawa Kudaka Island" (March 2024) and to exhibit it at overseas film festivals.
This film is a new documentary film that combines historical documentary footage of fishing and smoking of the Irabu (Irabu sea snake) filmed in 1978 with new footage of interviews with the residents of present-day Kudaka Island.
