Live Your Dream:
The Taylor Anderson Story
A film by Regge Life
This film is the story of Taylor Anderson an extraordinary American who dedicated herself to teaching Japanese children, living her dream right up to the earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011.
Taylor’s story came to me via the internet as stories from the areas that were affected began to be shared. I had met JET teachers in the course of my previous film work, so I knew the dedication and the hard work that goes into being an assistant English teacher, but there was something special about Taylor’s story that touched me. A passion and zest for the people of Ishinomaki where she was based, that not all teachers feel while in Japan. I began to seek a way to reach out to Taylor’s family and share my interest. I am so humbled to have their consent to tell Taylor’s story.
