The International Wednesdays documentary series presents Children Full of Life at noon April 3 in the International Student Centre on the second floor of Laurier Hall.

This 2003 film shows fourth-grade teacher Toshiro Kanamori in his classroom in a primary school in Kanazawa, northwest of Tokyo. After an incident of bullying, he instructs his pupils to write their feelings in a letter, and read it aloud in front of the class. By sharing their lives, the children begin to realize the importance of caring for their classmates.

Children Full of Life won the Global Television Grand Prize—the highest honour—at the 25th Anniversary Banff Television Festival. International Wednesdays screenings are free and open to the public.
