A documentary on the turbulent life and final years of Rui Itō (伊藤ルイ), the fourth daughter of the thinker Noe Itō (伊藤野枝)—who was murdered alongside Sakae Ōsugi (大杉栄) by the military police—and herself a civic activist. Beginning at age 54, Rui devoted herself to grassroots human rights movements. When diagnosed with cancer shortly before turning 74, she refused life-prolonging treatment and chose to die a natural death.

Guided by Kim Maeja(金梅子), a leading figure of contemporary Korean dance active on the international stage, this documentary traces the life of dancer Choi Seung-hee(崔承喜), whose fate was shaped by the turbulence of her era. Born in Korea under Japanese colonial rule, Choi studied modern dance under Baku Ishii(石井漠) and gained acclaim through performances in Japan and the West during the 1930s, before disappearing from public view in the mid-1960s.

A Cry From A Century Ago: The High Treason Incident Is Not Over poster
5.0

A documentary investigating the truth behind the High Treason Incident of 1910, in which socialists and anarchists, including Shūsui Kōtoku, were arrested and sentenced to death or imprisonment amid the Meiji government's suppression of political thought. Through historical documents and personal belongings left by the victims, including a letter written with a needle by the executed women's rights activist Sugako Kanno, the film explores their beliefs and experiences. It also examines the limited responses of Japanese literary figures to the incident, comparing them with reactions to the Dreyfus Affair in France, and follows the continuing efforts to uncover the truth and restore the victims' reputations.
