Nomination for Best Documentary, Oscars 2025

Orange Week



Special session as part of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Girls and Women.

Since 2015, Shiori Itō has been challenging the archaic aspects of Japanese society following her sexual assault by a powerful man close to the prime minister. Alone against everyone and confronted with the flaws of the media and judicial system, the journalist conducts her own investigation, ready to do anything to break the silence and reveal the truth.

“An open-hearted account spanning eight years, which Shiori Ito reveals not without apprehension, but with disarming authenticity. She leaves her story in our hands.”.
