Synopsis
"In March 2015, Ito Shiori, an ambitious young reporter, was raped by one of the country’s most powerful and influential journalists. As the rest of the world was embracing the #MeToo movement and overhauling their attitudes towards victims of sexual violence, Japan’s outdated laws, and interference from her attacker’s powerful cronies, rallied to silence her. In making this deeply personal film, Ito relies upon her skills and responsibilities as a journalist to expose Japan’s archaic prejudices in the hope of finally finding justice and closure by reliving her own life-changing trauma. World Cinema Documentary Competition, Sundance Film Festival.
