How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A fierce, unflinching investigation into suppressed wartime atrocities driven by one man's refusal to let injustice be forgotten. Okuzaki's confrontational pursuit of truth is as much an act of moral defiance as it is a documentary, creating an unsettling but necessary reckoning.
