[奈々氏浩]

Since the criminal case was not pursued, she is not considered a victim, and the real director here is Emma Ryan Yamazaki (Shiori Ito has only directed short films).

"A courageous, beautiful woman standing up to corrupt power, enduring wounds in the struggle"
Sorry, but who exactly does that refer to? She’s merely a woman who attempted to secure employment not through the proper channels, but through connections. And when her seductive approach failed, she took it out by filing a complaint. It just so happened that an acquaintance of hers, a left-wing journalist, took up the cause, and that's how it all escalated.

A documentary film? Is a documentary really supposed to be a narrative where one party twists the story entirely to their own advantage?
