ABOUT THE FILM:
In Japanese with English subtitles.
Filmed over 15 years, this epic three-part documentary by Kazuo Hara chronicles the history of struggle for a community in southern Japan suffering from “Minamata disease” — a debilitating neurological disease caused by methylmercury poisoning from the consumption of fish contaminated by industrial wastewater — as they continue the decades-long battle for legal recognition and reparations from the government. Both a deeply humanizing portrait of resilience and a comprehensive history of one of the worst pollution-related tragedies in human history, Minamata Mandala gives voice to the many survivors, care providers, researchers, and supporters tirelessly fighting for visibility.
