This time on J-FLICKS, we explore some of the current social issues Japan is facing in an overview of documentaries that gathered attention recently at international film festivals. We start with Hikaru Toda's Of Love and Law, a film shedding light on the LGBT situation in Japan and winner of the Best Picture Award in the Japanese Cinema Splash section of the Tokyo International Film Festival. We also take a look at 2 films presented at the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival: Sennan Asbestos Disaster, directed by Kazuo Hara; as well as Kazuki Agatsuma's focus on the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake with Tremorings of Hope.
