The Men Who Build 'Hope'

Giant Floating Crane Crew At 105 meters long and with a lifting capacity of 3,000 tons, Fuji is a giant floating crane that has pulled off a variety of complex jobs in Japan, including the construction of the Tokyo Gate Bridge and the Tsukiji Bridge. The goal this time is to build the first bridge connecting the island of Oshima in Kesennuma Bay in Miyagi Prefecture with Japan's main island. Island residents have long yearned for such a bridge, and see it as a ray of hope. Taking on the task are Sadami Dannoshita, Fuji's captain, and a crew of skilled professionals. Beginning with the bridge girders, they advance the project step-by-step over a month. Finally, they take on the most demanding part -- constructing the bridge's central span. To do this, Fuji must transport the 228-meter, 2,700-ton span 2.4 kilometers to the construction site, where the crew will install it in one go. The men have plenty of experience, but their window of opportunity this time is extremely limited. That's because Fuji can't be moved during the daytime, when ferries operate in the bay. Instead, they must begin the job at night, and complete it by evening the next day. Working in the dark, the crew encounter various challenges. Can they finish in time?
