Episode 54 - It is week 7 of our 10 week deep dive into the Japanese New Wave films of the 1960's. This week we watch and discuss Death By Hanging (1968), directed by Oshima Nagisa, which explores the topic of Korean discrimination in Post-War Japan. Few films explore this topic of the plight of first generation Koreans in Post-War Japan, and this is a big one. In Death By Hanging a young Korean man survives an execution and the executioners try to figure out what to do with him. Who better to break this down than us. We also watch a short documentary of the same theme called Diary of Yunbogi Boy (1965). Join us for the... fun?
