Synopsis

A hugely influential anime (Japanese animation) based on the "manga" comic book by Katsuhiro Otomo, Akira unfolds in the post-apocalyptic community of Neo-Tokyo where Tetsuo, a rebellious motorcycle gang member falls foul of the armed soldiers who control the city. But it's after he begins to experience strange dreams of his childhood that the authorities really begin to take an interest in Tetsuo - and when his destiny begins to take shape. Akira is bona-fide cult viewing, as visually incredible as it is dramatically powerful. (This film was originally made in Japanese, but has been dubbed into English.)

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
