> 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 seri 
> es greatly helped to restore human rights for the victims by directi 
> ng global attention to the corporate and state negligence involved i 
> n the industrial pollution of the seawater near Minamata, which was  
> the direct cause of the disease. Tsuchimoto’s other important works  
> illuminated marginalized social issues stemming from Japan’s postwar 
>  economic growth.
