Japan Broadcasting Corp. (NHK) captured four major awards in the 2015 US International Film & Video Festival, and chairman Lee Gluckman traveled to Tokyo for a presentation ceremony. 

The top two awards went to “Mimicries – The Secret of Black and Yellow,” an educational program for preschool and kindergarten that won a Gold Camera award and was selected Best of Festival-Education.
NHK’s other awards included three Silver Screen statuettes for documentaries on autism, sumo wrestling and the mechanisms behind major volcanic eruptions.
