Brothers and filmmakers Jan and Stephan Knuesel present the independently produced documentary feature «Negative: Nothing». It is the true story of Swiss man Thomas Koehler who walked 2900 kilometers all across Japan after the devastating Tsunami. His journey from the northern to the southern tip, through sunshine, rain and storm became a walk of hope. «Negative: Nothing» has been selling out theaters in Switzerland and Japan for three years. In 2014 the documentary film was picked-up for in-flight programming on all long distance flights of Swiss International Airlines for a period of six months. «Negative: Nothing» has become an unexpected success and a strong symbol of the friendship between Japan and Switzerland, that has remained for more than 150 years.
