I was given the opportunity to report from the tsunami-torn Rikuzentakata, Japan last week - to capture in video the beauty, fragility and challenges evident in the town's long-term recovery.

Many peers have noted: The sense of human resilience (and suffering) in my stories out of Japan are much more muted than my stories out of India and Africa. This is surely a matter of cultural differences. It leads me to ask, however,  if leaning less on overt emotionality has added more analytical depth to my latest batch.

Below are some of the videos I produced. Many are updates for a larger interactive package that tracks the city's growth.
