Women on the Front Line

Sociopolitical Documentary with no narration published by NHK in 2023 - English language.



Information
------------------------------
Japan's local elections in April featured a record number of female candidates. Ranked 116th out of 146 countries in the Global Gender Gap Index, Japan is now changing at the grass-roots level. We spent three months following two candidates: a woman in Ibaraki Prefecture busy raising children while campaigning on social media, and a single parent in Nagasaki Prefecture gathering local support. This documentary offers a rare glimpse of a local election system that has changed very little in decades and what two women bring to that challenging reality. Will our two candidates win?
