<p class="MsoNormal">This screening event honors the late Japanese documentary
filmmaker and social activist Tsuchimoto Noriaki (1928-2008).
Tsuchimoto’s “Minamata Series” is known for its powerful
screen portrayals of the lives and struggles of the victims of Minamata
disease. The series <span style="color:black">greatly helped to restore human
rights for the victims</span> by<span style="color:black"> directing</span> global
attention to the corporate and state negligence involved in the industrial
pollution of the <span style="color:black">seawater near Minamata, which was
the direct cause of the disease</span>. Tsuchimoto’s other important
works illuminated marginalized social issues stemming from Japan’s postwar
economic growth. <o:p></o:p></p>
