Director of Photography
This rare documentary is one of the very last efforts from preeminent documentarist/activist Susumu Hani best known for his feature films. This one is a short documentary about the 1945 atomic bombing and its devastating consequences. The film came out of the "10 Foot Movement". A movement organized by the Japan Peace Museum, which mobilized Japanese citizen activists to buy back small segments of film footage of the effects of the atomic bomb from the U.S. National Archives. The film combines recent footage of survivors of the atomic bomb with American archival footage, portraying the sorrow of atomic bomb survivors in the cold war period.

After the waning of the protests in Sanrizuka, Ogawa Pro started questioning the future of the collective and looking for other subjects to film. Following the method developed in the previous films, the filmmakers moved to the slum of Kotobuchi in the port city of Yokohama, where more than 6000 people were struggling to get by without any means of survival, exposed to industrial accidents and diseases. The result is one of the most moving films produced by the collective, a series of beautifully filmed portraits, voicing the silenced stories and songs of a group of people living in this community.

오가와 신스께 감독의 데뷔작. 1965년 일본 문부성은 대학 통신교육 제도의 개선안을 발표하는데 이를 개악으로 보고 반대 운동에 나선 통신교육생들의 투쟁을 기록한 다큐멘터리. 첫 작품부터 오가와 감독은 소수 약자의 권리를 옹호하는 편에 섰으며 영화의 기획, 예산, 제작, 상영에 이르기까지 일본에서는 전례가 없었던 독자적인 자주제작의 방식을 택했다. 이 작품에 참여했던 인원들이 이후 오가와 프로덕션의 핵심이 된다.
