Nitto Tire USA Inc. has produced a new documentary that will be shown on All Nippon Airways (ANA) international flights. The film, “Japanese Hero of the Andes: The Life of Yoshitaro Amano,” will also be donated to the Japanese American National Museum.

The documentary focuses on the life of Yoshitaro Amano, a Japanese businessman and researcher of the Andean civilization. Fascinated by the Chancay culture of Andean civilization, Amano’s work spanned the gamut of initiating digs and collections of archeological ruins and operation of the “Amano Museum,” Nitto said.

“Japanese Hero of the Andes: The Life of Yoshitaro Amano” will be available for viewing on ANA flights between March and May 2015.

Nitto has previously sponsored the production of other films that appeared on All Nippon Airways flights. In 2013 the tiremaker sponsored “Journey to Washington,” about the late U.S. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye.  In 2012, Nitto supported the production of  “Snow Dream – Roots of Sapporo Snow Festival,”  and in 2011 it funded “The Untold Story of Ralph Carr and the Japanese.”
