Program Note
This documentary follows the five-year legal battle of Ito Shiori, a journalist who has become a symbol of Japan’s #MeToo movement, credited with forever changing the lives of Japanese women. In 2015, Ito was sexually assaulted by Yamaguchi Noriyuki, a prominent journalist who wrote the biography of former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo. Despite reporting the incident to the police immediately after, the investigation stalled for nearly two years. In 2017, she became the first Japanese woman to publicly come forward as a sexual assault survivor and initiated a full-scale legal battle. Director Ito Shiori meticulously weaves together the beginning of her legal fight, the subsequent process, and the harrowing internal struggles she faced as she was pushed to her limits, while also exposing the flaws in Japan’s judicial system. Her courageous record of events will serve as a beacon of hope for other women who may face similar ordeals in the future. (JO Ji-hoon)
