films on minorities in Japan

[John Lichten]

Hello,

Another recent zainichi film is Izutsu Kazuyuki's Pacchigi, or, dealing with minorities in more general terms, Iwai Shunji's Swallowtail.

Not on DVD yet, but there is this recent documentary. Haven't seen it, don't know much about it, but you may find it interesting, about Ainu in Tokyo.
