Nerve Centre, 7-8 Magazine Street, Derry~Londonderry
Black Box Diaries follows director and journalist Shiori Ito’s courageous investigation of her own sexual assault in an improbable attempt to prosecute her high-profile offender.
Unfolding like a thriller and combining secret investigative recordings, vérité shooting and emotional first-person video, Shiori's quest becomes a landmark case in Japan, exposing the country’s desperately outdated judicial and societal systems.
Showcasing Shiori Ito (one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People) as a significant new voice, Black Box Diaries provides an extremely rare and valuable perspective from inside Japan’s #MeToo movement. Standing as a powerful testament to Ito’s determination and sacrifice in her attempts to gain closure and justice, Black Box Diaries is one of the outstanding documentary films of the year.
