School Days With a Pig

[Machine Translation] Satoshi Tsumabuki x 26 children. Raising a pig and eating it together? A sensational true story that has caused controversy on both sides of the issue is now fully adapted to film! In 1990, a new teacher at an elementary school in Osaka began an experiment in raising pigs that caused a stir throughout Japan. It was an astonishing class in which students raised a pig and ate it afterwards. The pig, named "P-chan," was loved by the children and became not a domestic animal but a class pet, but before the children's graduation, a huge debate developed over the treatment of P-chan. The program was broadcast as a documentary in 1993 and received the Galaxy Award for Encouragement and the Prime Minister's Award in a film contest sponsored by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Director Satoshi Maeda was so impressed by the program that he decided to share his work with the world. The story is about a new teacher, Mr. Hoshi, who is a young boy. A new teacher, Mr. Hoshi, starts to raise a piggy with 26 children in the 6th grade 2 class for a year until graduation under the "Promise to Eat. However, as she takes care of the piggy every day, her love for P-chan begins to grow. Then comes the graduation ceremony. What is the "answer" that the 26 children and Mr. Hoshi finally come up with during the tearful discussion that divides the class into two? Picture disc specification.
