The movie "Stuntwomen: The Untold Hollywood Story" depicts stuntwomen who are often undervalued in the male-dominated film industry, despite their need for advanced skills and the risks involved. Learn about the tremendous effort and expertise of these women and the history of their struggles.

Our daily lives rely on the electricity generated by nuclear power plants, but the fact remains that no country in the world has yet decided on a final disposal site for nuclear waste. Based on the movie "Journey to the Safest Place on Earth," learn about the history of the issue of "nuclear waste" and the struggle of people who are confronting it.

"They Shall Not Grow Old" is a film that colorizes and edits a vast amount of black-and-white footage depicting British soldiers in World War I. The film strongly conveys the "realism" that is difficult to feel with black-and-white images. You can realize that "wars are easier to start than expected" and "wars are ultimately miserable."

In the film "The Reason I Jump," which also features the man who translated Higashida Naoki's writings into English and spread them around the world (and is raising an autistic child), there is a family who says that their way of treating and thinking about autism changed when they learned about "the world of autism as told by Higashida Naoki." We can realize the great achievement of Higashida Naoki, who showed that "autistic is not mental disability".

I, who am not well-versed in history, had a vague impression that "in the Tokyo Trial, the victorious countries carried out unjust judgments." However, that impression was completely wrong.

The shocking documentary film "V siti" moved the police in the Czech Republic, and is filled with the ugliness of middle-aged men who take advantage of a girl's "loneliness". We should realize the reality that simply "restricting internet access" is not enough to protect children.

I was so shocked by "For Sama" that I thought such a movie could never exist again. The journalist, who is also a mother and a revolutionary, documented the city in Syria that was continuously bombed and raised her daughter in the same city. This is not a reality that can be dismissed as "I didn't know."

Mads Brugger is a documentary filmmaker who has no ethical conflicts, but only curiosity, which resulted in his "expulsion" from North Korea for making this film, "The Red Chapel. This shocking film shows the "everyday" and "extraordinary" life in North Korea, where Brugger went undercover under the guise of "friendship.

With the backing of President Putin, the Chechen Republic maintains its dictatorship, and an abnormal situation that can only be called "Gay-Cleansing" continues in the country. The film "Welcome to Chechnya" depicts this reality at great risk and also portrays the struggles of support groups fighting against the "modern-day Holocaust."
