Commemoration of the Day of Restoration of the State of Lithuania
On February 16, 2021, commemorating the Day of Restoration of the State of Lithuania, Ambassador G. Varvuolis in his online video address extended greetings to all friends of Lithuania and compatriots in Japan and invited to join an exclusive streaming of the film „The Other Dream Team“ (in Lithuanian/English, with Japanese subtitles).
„The Other Dream Team“ is a documentary film that covers the inspirational story of the 1992 Lithuanian national basketball team and their journey to the bronze medals at the Summer Olympics in Barcelona. The film not only looks at the Lithuanian team but also at the broader historical events. The fall of the Soviet Union and re-establishment of Lithuanian’s independence allowed it to enter the Olympics as an independent country.
