この映画は、合法的な形で、沖縄で72年まで続いた精神障害者の「私宅監置」がテーマです。その当事者の姿と思いを追います。家族や関係する様々な人たちへの取材を通し、加害者は誰か、今も形を変えて続くその根本にあるものは何か、を問いかけます。
監督は、原義和さん。高校生の時、AHIのスタディツアーに参加した経験をお持ちです。そうしたAHIとのつながりと、社会の中で取り残され忘れ去られようとしている人びとを見つめる視点に賛同し、6月にはAHIでも上映会&座談会を持ちました。
よろしければ、ぜひご覧ください。
また、海外のご友人にも、ぜひおすすめください!

=======
The incarceration of the people with mental disabilities in sheds and other private enclosures, was permitted under Japanese law and continued in Okinawa, Japan, until 1972. Through interviewing with various people including the families and community people who know the victims or involved in the incarceration at that time, the film tries to pursuit the true victimizer as well as to show us the appearance of the structural violence which has been existing until today.
The director, Mr. Yoshikazu Hara, is one of AHI volunteers, participated in AHI study tour in his high school days and has visited the AHI alumni in the Philippines.
