films on minorities in Japan

[Catherine Russell]

Hi Eija,
There is also Naruse's film Whistling in Kotan, a.k.a A Whistle in My Heart (Kotan no kuchibue), 1959, about the Ainu. I don't know if it's easy to get though.

Dear all,

can you suggest some easy to get films (for ex. on DVD), either
documentaries or fiction films, on minorities in Japan. Especially
films on Ainu and Okinawans are sought. These are to be shown on a
Linguapax film series at IUC.

Thanks,

Eija
