Peace is a documentary that examines questions of coexistence through the intermingled story of three people and some stray cats in Okayama, Japan. Toshio Kashiwagi runs an affordable taxi service for the disabled and the elderly, having retired as a principal at a special school. Meanwhile, he feeds a group of stray cats everyday. However, there is a growing tension in the cats' peaceful community because a male "thief cat," an outsider, is trying to invade it. Toshio's wife, Hiroko Kashiwagi, runs a non-profit organization, which sends home helpers to houses of the elderly and the disabled. But, her organization is facing financial difficulties because of budget cuts from the government. At home, she has been grumbling about the way Toshio feeds his cats. As a professional caregiver herself, Hiroko regularly visits 91-year-old Shiro Hashimoto to help his daily routines. Living in a mice and tick infected small apartment, Hashimoto is spending his final days thinking about his own death. His memories of being drafted to World War II come back to him while dealing with Hiroko.

Campaign examines the question, "Can a candidate with no political experience and no charisma win an election if he is backed by the political giant Prime Minister Koizumi and his Liberal Democratic Party?" This cinema-verite documentary closely follows a heated election campaign in Kawasaki, Japan, revealing the true nature of "democracy."

Both films will be shown on Friday, September 11; the first at 2 p.m., the second at 5:30 p.m. A reception with the filmmaker at 4 p.m. will separate the two films, and a Q&A session will follow the latter.
