In the documentary short by Cheng Herng Shinn, presented by Al Jazeera’s DigiDocs, 15-year-old Shurina takes on the role of a kamikaze pilot in her school play, leading her on a poignant exploration of World War II history and the impact of loss. As she travels through Japan, she visits memorials and hangs paper cranes to commemorate schoolgirls who lost their lives during the war. In Okinawa, she prepares for her final performance while seeking the strength to honor those from the past.
