Black Box Diaries
Shiori Itô / JP, US, GB, 2024 / 103 min.
Female journalist Shiori Ito is carrying out an investigation into a sexual assault she herself suffered, in a courageous attempt to take her influential attacker to court. Her struggle develops into a groundbreaking case that exposes Japan’s outdated legal system and social norms.
In 2017, 28-year-old rookie journalist Shiori Itō made a public allegation of rape against a confidant and biographer of then prime minister Shinzo Abe, hoping this would bring about change in Japan's outdated sexual assault laws. Her press conference sent shockwaves through a society that considers it shameful to talk about such issues.
