Description

A new, independent documentary film by MATSUI Hisako (with English subtitles), “What are you afraid of?” features Prof. Ueno and several other prominent feminists in Japan, and by doing so, shows the 40+ years of history of feminism in Japan. Women’s history was long neglected in Japan, and this film plays an important role in documenting and remembering the earlier efforts of feminists in Japan. This is a rare opportunity to view this independent documentary chronicling the lives of early feminists.
