The current visit to Japan by Kim Hyon Hui, a former North Korean agent who planted a bomb which brought down a Korean Air jetliner in 1987, is reminding us again of the ordeal of the kidnapping victims and their families. She is here to meet with the families of victims kidnapped by North Korea in the 1970s.
Her visit reminds us of the fact that the kidnapping issue is still unresolved.
An anime film about one of the kidnapped victims, Yokota Megumi (横田 めぐみ) from Niigata, is available for download for free in multiple languages besides Japanese:

It has a few scenes of her father taking her picture. The 25-min. film illustrates the story and circumstances behind the snapshots of Megumi we have seen before. At the end, you hear Paul Stookey (from Peter, Paul & Mary) singing a song about Megumi that he created. Highly recommended film.
