Synopsis
An exploration of the political unrest of 1960s Japan, when mass student uprisings coincided with the beginnings of the far-left United Red Army group, which tortured and murdered its “deviant” members during a 1972 training session. The film depicts the famed Asama-Sanso incident, which began when members of the United Red Army assassinated 14 of its own, during a group “self-criticism” session, and then broke into a holiday lodge below Mount Asama and took the wife of the lodge-keeper as a hostage. A standoff between police and the URA radicals took place, lasting ten days.
