A journalist upends Japan’s entrenched codes of silence when she brings sexual assault charges against a well-connected member of the Japanese media elite. Against the wishes of many of those closest to her, Shiro Ito presses on with her case, bravely confronting an entire system. Her case becomes a landmark in Japan, and her choices a riveting reminder of the insidiousness of sexism and patriarchal oppression anywhere.
The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with filmmakers and special guests.

ERNEST COLE: LOST AND FOUND
NYC PREMIERE Oscar-nominated filmmaker Raoul Peck has done it again. In this rousing, elegant documentary, Peck opens the life and works of a seminal artist of the 20th century, South African photographer Ernest Cole. Denouncing apartheid with the publication of his 1967 photo book House of Bondage, Cole then lived in exile in the US, where he documented New York City and the American South, observing the echoes of the homeland he left behind. Cole’s words are voiced with spooky vivacity by another Oscar nominee, actor LaKeith Stanfield.
