Later that year, a delegation from Crescent City returned the boat to its original home in Rikuzentakata, forever endearing the two cities to one another.As part of their coverage for the 2020 Olympics in Japan (which has since been postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), NBC Sports crafted a documentary detailing the relationship that developed between Crescent City and Rikuzentakata after the return of the the boat Kamome.Vosburg said from all accounts, NBC Sports still intends to release the story during the Summer Olympics next July.“But until then we can enjoy it on Peacock,” she said.“Rikuzentakata and Crescent City are half a world apart, but connected by tragedy, chance and a 10,000-mile journey across open waters,” the documentary’s narration begins. “The unlikely friendships that blossom between parallel towns are a reminder of humanity's best instincts.”“Kamome” a is now streaming live on NBC’s Peacocktv.com. Peacock is a subscription video-on-demand streaming service, which is currently free, owned and operated by the Television and Streaming division of NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast.For a direct link to the “Kamome” documentary go to https://bit.ly/2CDPifA.
