AFS Documentary Tour: CAMPAIGN (SENKYO) February 13, 2008

In Fall 2005, Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) had suddenly chosen self-employed Kazuhiko "Yama-san" Yamauchi as its official candidate to run for a vacant seat on the Kawasaki city council. Through its candid, cinéma-vérité style camerawork, this rare, detailed documentary of a Japanese election reveals the true nature of "democracy."

COST: $4 for AFS members / $6 for the general public
