Announcement from SSJ-Forum: "Saving 10,000 - Winning a War on Suicide in Japan" is a 52-minute documentary directed by TUJ ICAS Adjunct Fellow Dr. Rene Duignan. At this event, Rene will discuss the movie's key findings while showing some excerpts. Unusually for a small documentary, "Saving 10,000" has attracted a lot of media interest with Rene giving over 20 interviews to date. The movie has also sparked interest from politicians with DVD requests from a Minister and Vice-Minister. A special screening/Q&A will be held at the Japanese Parliament in March. Rene has had the privilege of sharing his ideas in a meeting with the head of the Suicide Prevention Unit of the Cabinet Office. After the Japanese media coverage, screening/speaking requests have been coming from all over Japan.  Date: Thursday, March 14, 2013Time: Door open 7:00 p.m / Talk start 7:30 p.m.Venue:Temple University, Japan Campus, Azabu Hall 2F(access: [www.tuj.ac.jp] Rene Duignan, ICAS Adjunct Fellow and Economist for the Delegation of the European Union to JapanModerator: Robert Dujarric, ICAS DirectorAdmission: Free (Open to general public)Language: EnglishRSVP:icas@tuj.temple.edu More info: [www.saving10000.com] See also Killing Yourself To Make A Living: In Japan Financial Incentives Reward “Suicide” [www.japansubculture.com]
