Description
[Machine Translation] After 100 years, an unprecedented Japanese film based on a true story has finally been released in theaters. A blockbuster hit that will remain in Japanese film history is finally available on DVD! This is the first feature film by Tatsuya Mori, the genius of documentary filmmaking. The film is an authentic drama that you won't believe it is his first, and the performances by talented and unique actors will move you to tears. --The Great Kanto Earthquake occurred at 11:58 on September 1, 1923. Only five days later, on September 6, 1923, Fukuda, Higashi Katsushika-gun, Chiba Prefecture, was hit by the Great Kanto Earthquake. Just five days later, on September 6, more than 100 villagers, including vigilantes from Fukuda Village in Higashi Katsushika County, Chiba Prefecture, killed nine of 15 medicine peddlers, including an infant and a pregnant woman, who were visiting from Kagawa along the Tone River. The peddlers were suspected of being Koreans and killed for speaking in Sanuki dialect. Eight members of the vigilante group were arrested. Although the arrestees were sentenced to prison, they were soon released under a pardon related to the death of Emperor Taisho.... This is the "Fukuda-mura Incident," which had been buried in the dark of history for 100 years. When people are misled by information and fueled by fear and anxiety for their survival, the collective mind accelerates and the crowd goes berserk. This is not just an incident from the past, but a story for those of us living in the present. A press sheet with a scaled-down version of the film is enclosed.
