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 BIBI FILES
WORLD PREMIERE The Bibi Files is an urgent journalistic exposé, based on never-before-seen leaked footage and new interviews with key Israeli figures. The film details the corruption cases that resulted in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu being indicted for charges of breach of trust, bribery, and fraud in 2019. Many Israelis believe that Netanyahu’s attempts to delay his own trial are key to understanding recent events. Netanyahu went to court trying to block this film from being seen – unsuccessfully.
