Synopsis
Original title: Yuki yukite shingun
Kenzo Okuzaki, a veteran of the campaign in New Guinea, began a solitary terror crusade against Emperor Hirohito, whom he accused of crimes committed during World War II, and whom he even got to attack with a homemade pistol. Hara follows Okuzaki’s peculiar life and records the changes in the behaviour of a man who, aware of the camera and the consequences of his acts, grows increasingly radical and begins to look for strategies aimed at manipulating the truth. One of the most controversial documentaries ever made about Japan’s history.
