- Summary:
- In 2017, Japanese journalist Shiori Itō publicly accused a prominent media executive (and associate of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe) of rape, and published a bestselling memoir detailing her case -- Black box, a book credited with sparking the #MeToo movement in Japan. Black box diaries is a survivor's real-time investigation of her own sexual assault -- and includes raw video diaries (shot on Itō's iPhone), surreptitious audio recordings of police negligence, and vérité courtroom footage. Itō documents her courageous struggle to navigate Japan's patriarchal judiciary and antiquated sex crimes laws (proven lack of consent was insufficient) and quest for justice
