Large Scale Image Program "Encounter with Earth"

A family animation program featuring our relationship with life and our planet.
Strange things start to happen around our main character Naoko, as aliens come to Earth in pursuit of the Z-atom created in outer space. Naoko is shown some peculiar images a number of times, and she begins to realize the intrinsic link between her and other living beings. Through immersive dome imagery and music, "Encounter with Earth" offers the experience of looking at ourselves and our planet from a different perspective.
