About screenings
100 schools, 10,000 people.
We’re waiting for your application, or your support.
The finished documentary will screen for free at schools across Japan. Whether you’re a school that wants to host a screening, or a supporter who wants to help make it happen, this page gets you to the same goal.
Be the one who delivers it, or the one who receives it
Every screening is free. Schools bear zero cost; it’s all funded by supporters through crowdfunding.
For schools: host a free screening
Elementary, junior high, high school, KOSEN, university: any school type. There’s no cost, ever.

We work out a date and venue
Any space that can host a screening works, regardless of size; a gym or auditorium is fine. Online screenings are an option too.

The screening happens
A cast talk or Q&A afterward is also possible, depending on scheduling.
For supporters: bring the film to a school
Our goal of 100 schools and 10,000 people only happens because people like you support it.

You can name your old school or a local school as the destination (subject to coordination).

Get credited in the film
Your name appears in the end credits: a record of the fact that you were the one who made it happen.
What a screening feels like
These photos are from past Route-hosted report events. We’re aiming for our screenings to feel just like this: people gathering and talking together.
Confirmed schools so far
Our goal is 100 schools and 10,000 people nationwide: a place for schools, companies, and young people to meet, good for CSR and recruiting too. This table grows as each new school is confirmed.
| School | Type | Prefecture | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kagoshima College of Technology | KOSEN (Technical College) | Kagoshima | Confirmed |
| Kobe City College of Technology | KOSEN (Technical College) | Hyogo | Confirmed |
| Kindai University | University | Osaka | Confirmed |
| University of the Ryukyus | University | Okinawa | Confirmed |
| Maya Hyogo High School | High School | Hyogo | Planned |
| Suma Shofu High School | High School | Hyogo | TBD |
Places we’d love to reach next
Beyond schools, these are places, from kids’ cafeterias to guesthouses and clubs, whose people asked us to bring the film. Some are still unconfirmed, but we keep adding to this list.
