Vegalta Sendai’s story is incredible. It’s a tale of how sports can help communities heal. It is the tale of a club that gained glory while becoming the symbol of a nation. Vegalta rose from the destruction going on to finish fourth in 2011 and second in 2012.
One of the tiny subplots of that story is how a FanPost on Sounder at Heart helped inspire Doug Hurcombe to film the documentary “Vegalta: Soccer, Tsunami and the Hope of a Nation.”
Shortly after the 2011 Tu014dhoku earthquake and tsunami tore through northeast Japan Aaron Campeau wrote Vegalta Sendai Supporters : We Are All Brothers And Sisters.
