fisherman boy based in Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter and his terminally ill friend. It demonstrated Rogge's abilities extending to drama. Around 1959–1960, Rogge and Hans Brinckmann had made a 25-minute documentary titled Washo! on how life changed in post-war Japan. In 2005, excerpts from Washo! (including narration) were reproduced in a documentary telecast by the Japanese national TV broadcaster NHK. In 1961, the Dutch television station VPRO commissioned Rogge to make the documentary film Three Million Souls of Hong Kong, which he completed in 1962. The Hong Kong film archive has called the 200 minutes of film that Rogge shot in Hong Kong between 1949 and 1954 "an extremely valuable artifact for Hong Kong". Although some of his early works were originally silent films, many were edited with voice over commentaries, music and sound effects. Filmography Legacy 2008 exhibition in Tokyo An exhibition entitled Showa Japan seen through Dutch eyes was held in Tokyo at Fujifilm Square from 29 August to 30 September 2008. This included works from Rogge and Hans Brinckmann, his former colleague and Dutch writer, who were working for the same bank branch and living in Japan during the 1955–1960 period. This exhibition attracted 49,000 people. This included Washo!, a documentary about "the old and the new Japan", that narrated the unresolved hostility and conflicts in post-WW2 Japanese society, in the background of fierce opposition to the Japan-US Security Treaty. It portrayed how labor relations had eroded in Japan during that period, which led to political agitations causing violent demonstrations on the streets of Tokyo. From 18 January to 28 February 2009, the same exhibition was partly repeated at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan (FCCJ), Tokyo and appeared as the featured cover story for the February 2009 edition of FCCJ's magazine, Number 1 Shimbun. Photographic material presented in this exhibition also appeared in the book titled Showa Japan: The Post-War Golden Age and Its Troubled Legacy brought out by Brinckmann. 2014 seminar in Hong Kong A seminar titled Michael Rogge and his Hong Kong of the 1950s was held in Hong Kong during 2014. This included an exhibition titled "Michael Rogge Retrospective" and organized into two separate sessions titled Retrospective (1) and Retrospective (2). The screenings were accompanied by live music composed by Maud Nelissen.
