This was a very difficult documentary for me. I’ve become fascinated with Japan for awhile now and it saddens me to see this side of them. Not that it is going to keep me from learning more about them, after all America as done some pretty bad things as well.

This documentary inspires me to stand up and do something to fix the problem. Although, how one person can make a difference and how to do it are very popular questions for me.
