In China, autrefois

Films this year:

26. Kaoru Ikeya, The Army of the Ant (2006)

Another stunning documentaryfrom Ikeya shedding a light on the hidden part of the disgrace of modern Japan. The army as the worst machine of exploiting the nation's own children and turning them into ruthless killers. It's a crime of the state against its own people. The old man Okumura's protest against his own past and the insane machinery--this is a history to be widely transmitted.
