KOBE – The Sagamihara stabbings or massacre were committed on 26 July 2016 in Sagamihara, Kanagawa prefecture. Nineteen people were killed and twenty-six others were injured, thirteen severely, at a care home for disabled people. The crimes were committed by a then 26-year-old man, identified as Satoshi Uematsu a former employee of the care facility. Uematsu surrendered at a nearby police station with a bag of knives and was subsequently arrested.

The movie “Moon,” modelled on the Sagamihara Massacre has opened nationwide in Japan and today I watched it. Here are my initial thoughts, given almost right after watching the movie. Apologies for the sound quality, I just wanted to capture how the movie struck me.
