00:04:11.522 --> 00:04:13.694
I'll have the prints
from the Ali/Frazier fight by six.

00:04:13.813 --> 00:04:15.855
Make it four. Everybody out.

00:04:16.939 --> 00:04:20.730
Serial killers, footloose, lies, Jesus.

00:04:21.022 --> 00:04:23.105
That's what sells magazines, Bob.

00:04:23.272 --> 00:04:26.480
You should lose all those
corny war photos out there.

00:04:26.599 --> 00:04:29.855
What have you got for me? I don't have
time for a cocktail hour sip'n grin.

00:04:30.022 --> 00:04:32.439
I want you to speak
at the opening of my exhibition.

00:04:32.861 --> 00:04:35.270
I just want you to say
something about how great I was.

00:04:35.314 --> 00:04:36.189
Wa-- Was?

00:04:36.272 --> 00:04:40.022
Yeah, how great I was, I mean...
How great I still am of course.

00:04:40.605 --> 00:04:44.166
But, you know, way back then
when you could be great,

00:04:44.272 --> 00:04:45.939
when the truth still meant something.

00:04:46.272 --> 00:04:48.647
So, yeah. You just have to say that...

00:04:49.022 --> 00:04:52.480
I'm the greatest photographer
that Life Magazine has ever have.

00:04:52.647 --> 00:04:53.605
But you aren't.

00:04:53.730 --> 00:04:56.814
You're the single most impossible
photographer the Life has ever had.

00:04:56.980 --> 00:04:58.518
Well, fuck it! Just say it that then.

00:04:58.655 --> 00:05:00.739
I can't Gene.
I told you when you called.

00:05:00.980 --> 00:05:02.689
I'm out of town that week,
I got a board meeting.

00:05:02.814 --> 00:05:05.250
Look, Bob, I'm done.

00:05:05.564 --> 00:05:08.799
I'm tired, my body is older than I am.

00:05:09.105 --> 00:05:10.800
I am always in goddamn pain.

00:05:11.022 --> 00:05:13.314
I can't trust my fucking dick anymore.

00:05:13.647 --> 00:05:15.528
Constantly a foul mood.

00:05:15.730 --> 00:05:18.727
Even the fucking drugs bore me,
my kids won't speak to me.

00:05:18.881 --> 00:05:21.194
You know, I could go head first

00:05:21.331 --> 00:05:25.246
into a fucking shrimp cocktail
at any given moment.

00:05:26.586 --> 00:05:28.289
And I'm broke.

00:05:28.689 --> 00:05:29.855
I'm sorry, Gene.

00:05:29.980 --> 00:05:33.730
I wasn't looking for your sympathy,
I was just stating the facts.

00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.439
By the way, if anyone
should be asking for sympathy, Bob...

00:05:38.897 --> 00:05:40.147
It should be you.

00:05:42.064 --> 00:05:43.829
Look at this drake you're turning out.

00:05:43.909 --> 00:05:45.159
Amazing!

00:05:45.714 --> 00:05:46.577
No laddering.

00:05:46.657 --> 00:05:49.571
You got all the way up
in your high horse, just like that.

00:05:50.314 --> 00:05:53.314
We practically
give this magazine away to our readers.

00:05:53.647 --> 00:05:55.564
We cover all the major issues
that touch their lives,

00:05:55.689 --> 00:05:57.647
issues from all over the country,
all around the world.

00:05:57.722 --> 00:05:59.264
We do it every week.

00:05:59.323 --> 00:06:02.956
On top of that, we fight
television sets for the same eyeballs

00:06:03.013 --> 00:06:04.397
you took for granted
would always be there.

00:06:04.438 --> 00:06:06.683
It gets worse all the time.

00:06:06.772 --> 00:06:08.980
What we do, what I do every day

00:06:09.105 --> 00:06:11.567
is find a way to pay for all of this
and keep it going.

00:06:11.605 --> 00:06:14.372
What we put on the cover,
what we put in the middle of those stories

00:06:14.419 --> 00:06:15.960
that's what does that!

00:06:16.772 --> 00:06:18.689
Wow! Well...

00:06:20.105 --> 00:06:22.823
Your horse is obviously
much higher than mine.

00:06:23.605 --> 00:06:26.772
Consider this as an overdue "thank you".

00:06:28.478 --> 00:06:32.061
A royalty cheque you found
on an old pair of corduroys.

00:06:32.647 --> 00:06:35.314
Cash it at the branch on 17th and 6th.

00:06:35.419 --> 00:06:37.044
Keep it off the books that way.

00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.751
You know that you're only sitting
behind that desk because of dogs like me.

00:06:43.874 --> 00:06:45.045
Right?

00:06:50.230 --> 00:06:51.397
Good luck, Gene.

00:06:52.435 --> 00:06:54.269
Don't waste what time you got left.

00:06:59.019 --> 00:07:00.602
You're a dick, Bob.

00:07:12.371 --> 00:07:18.166
Date is Sunday, February 28th, 1971.

00:07:18.804 --> 00:07:21.102
Well, it's me, I've done it.

00:07:21.727 --> 00:07:23.227
I'm done with retrospecting.

00:07:23.352 --> 00:07:25.894
And now I don't have
to do any more things.

00:07:26.102 --> 00:07:27.119
Yeah.

00:07:28.644 --> 00:07:30.795
I sold all of my stuff, you know,

00:07:31.233 --> 00:07:33.602
my equipment what have you.

00:07:34.710 --> 00:07:38.295
And I'm gonna make sure
that you guys get the money for that...

00:07:41.546 --> 00:07:45.352
I know, I hate to sound modern but...

00:07:51.019 --> 00:07:52.751
I think it's time for me to...

00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:54.602
Goddamnit!

00:07:56.977 --> 00:07:57.852
I'm coming!

00:08:01.144 --> 00:08:02.143
- Mr. Smith...
- Now is not the time.

00:08:02.144 --> 00:08:05.102
Hi, I'm Aileen, and this is
our photographer, Geichi.

00:08:05.436 --> 00:08:06.644
Thanks. Thank you.

00:08:11.311 --> 00:08:12.936
Why is this man giving me cookies?

00:08:13.352 --> 00:08:17.144
Fujifilm, we are here
for the advertisement.

00:08:17.250 --> 00:08:20.019
Oh! That, yeah, right, Christ!

00:08:20.561 --> 00:08:23.977
Well, look, I'm gonna
have to level with you.

00:08:24.686 --> 00:08:27.394
I have consumed
quite a whole lot of alcohol...

00:08:33.286 --> 00:08:34.519
What did he say?

00:08:34.644 --> 00:08:37.186
Geichi says you're his
favorite photographer

00:08:37.436 --> 00:08:39.602
and the reason
he's got into the field.

00:08:39.936 --> 00:08:43.144
Oh, that's very nice. That's very nice.

00:08:43.561 --> 00:08:46.394
And what about you?
Have you never heard of me?

00:08:48.436 --> 00:08:50.227
Not before this morning, no.

00:08:50.686 --> 00:08:51.852
So you're not a fan?

00:08:52.269 --> 00:08:53.852
It's too early to say.

00:08:54.602 --> 00:08:55.790
Alright.

00:08:56.686 --> 00:08:58.144
What do you want me to do?

00:08:59.977 --> 00:09:02.825
They want you to say that Fuji color film

00:09:02.939 --> 00:09:06.479
is more vibrant than any other
color film on the markets.

00:09:06.627 --> 00:09:08.913
It's the only color film you trust.

00:09:09.019 --> 00:09:11.852
Turn that shit off, turn everything off.

00:09:14.311 --> 00:09:15.936
Do they really want me to say that?

00:09:16.227 --> 00:09:18.939
Yes, it was part of the deal.

00:09:20.623 --> 00:09:22.186
Oh fuck!

00:09:23.602 --> 00:09:26.769
You know, I've never shot in color, ever.

00:09:26.977 --> 00:09:28.977
Not once, never, ever.

00:09:29.727 --> 00:09:33.019
And anyone who knows my work
will know that.

00:09:33.311 --> 00:09:34.811
So that's a very big problem.

00:09:35.102 --> 00:09:38.269
I'm sorry but it's in the contract.

00:09:38.811 --> 00:09:40.424
Did I sign the contract?

00:09:45.269 --> 00:09:48.102
Will Naughton is playing
at Francesco's tonight.

00:09:49.769 --> 00:09:51.011
Join me.

00:10:00.769 --> 00:10:02.201
Alright.

00:10:04.602 --> 00:10:06.758
Let's get on
with the puppet show.

00:10:19.144 --> 00:10:22.736
So, are you going to give me
a photography lesson?

00:10:22.825 --> 00:10:27.616
Oh listen, I would, but I damn
near sold all of my equipment.

00:10:29.102 --> 00:10:33.602
I need to send money to my kids,
rents, way overdue and...

00:10:34.483 --> 00:10:36.519
My bank account
just walked under the duck.

00:10:36.727 --> 00:10:38.394
- So...
- What duck?

00:10:39.019 --> 00:10:41.811
Not a real duck, never mind.

00:10:44.144 --> 00:10:46.727
Sometimes you just get fed up with...

00:10:47.227 --> 00:10:49.144
You know, sometimes...

00:10:50.561 --> 00:10:51.852
I used to be more fun.

00:10:52.186 --> 00:10:54.686
I used to be a lot more fun,
I swear to you.

00:10:55.436 --> 00:10:58.436
I bet you were a fun dad
to have five kids.

00:10:59.394 --> 00:11:01.811
No, no, I wasn't.

00:11:02.269 --> 00:11:03.602
Not even close.

00:11:04.352 --> 00:11:08.561
I was never there,
I was gone all the time.

00:11:09.624 --> 00:11:12.139
Absent. No leagues...

00:11:13.102 --> 00:11:15.811
No barbies, no easy bake ovens.

00:11:19.602 --> 00:11:20.769
I missed it all.

00:11:45.144 --> 00:11:47.519
I had a great time
with you tonight, Aileen.

00:11:53.602 --> 00:11:54.602
I...

00:11:56.394 --> 00:11:59.394
I didn't just happen
to get this job with you.

00:12:00.511 --> 00:12:01.504
Uh huh.

00:12:04.436 --> 00:12:06.227
There's a company in Japan.

00:12:06.894 --> 00:12:11.561
That's been dumping their toxic waste
into the sea for years.

00:12:12.769 --> 00:12:14.686
The Chisso Corporation.

00:12:15.269 --> 00:12:18.227
People are getting sick and die.

00:12:19.977 --> 00:12:21.602
The people need help.

00:12:23.727 --> 00:12:25.686
There is a resistance on the ground.

00:12:26.019 --> 00:12:28.619
But we need global attention.

00:12:28.852 --> 00:12:30.102
We need you

00:12:30.644 --> 00:12:32.697
at the shareholder's meeting next week.

00:12:32.827 --> 00:12:37.449
Well, I'm afraid that Japan
has seen the last of me, kid.

00:12:37.561 --> 00:12:39.947
That was 25 years ago.

00:12:40.061 --> 00:12:40.769
Listen...

00:12:41.227 --> 00:12:43.602
If that's why you're here
I'll put you on the long list of people

00:12:43.686 --> 00:12:44.769
that I've disappointed.

00:12:44.977 --> 00:12:48.269
I'm terribly sorry,
but I've got a few things to do.

00:12:48.427 --> 00:12:51.023
Defenestration and whatnot, you know.

00:12:53.602 --> 00:12:56.923
Sorry, I did that all wrong
and I've upset you.

00:12:57.686 --> 00:12:59.102
It wasn't my intention..

00:12:59.227 --> 00:13:01.144
No, no, it was a lovely night.

00:13:03.269 --> 00:13:04.436
It was?

00:13:08.769 --> 00:13:09.602
Yeah.

00:13:12.061 --> 00:13:13.602
Here's some information.

00:13:13.936 --> 00:13:15.269
Please have a look.

00:13:15.561 --> 00:13:17.436
My number is on the envelope.

00:13:21.061 --> 00:13:22.436
Take care, Aileen.

00:14:53.061 --> 00:14:57.352
LIFE

00:14:59.144 --> 00:15:03.186
I love the suggestion for the center,
it looks really... It looks ideal to me.

00:15:03.311 --> 00:15:04.811
- The center is very strong.
- Yeah.

00:15:05.061 --> 00:15:06.352
- Robert?
- Good--

00:15:06.561 --> 00:15:09.602
Robert, a huge crisis in Japan.

00:15:09.722 --> 00:15:11.740
Mercury poisoning.
Here's your Pulitzer Prize.

00:15:11.852 --> 00:15:13.936
- Gene, what the hell?
- People are dying, Robert.

00:15:14.144 --> 00:15:15.269
Yeah, all day, every day.

00:15:15.352 --> 00:15:17.602
It doesn't mean
you get to fuck up my layout.

00:15:17.727 --> 00:15:21.983
Oh goddamnit!
Am I interrupting your little layout?

00:15:22.061 --> 00:15:26.935
No, you guys just go on and make
a room for your fucking Oil of Olay ads

00:15:27.061 --> 00:15:29.561
while innocent people
drop like flies, huh Bob?

00:15:29.644 --> 00:15:31.247
You talking about Minamata?

00:15:31.352 --> 00:15:33.936
Yeah! See? She knows. She's smart.

00:15:34.144 --> 00:15:35.519
Is there anybody else here
who's as smart as her?

00:15:35.593 --> 00:15:38.593
A factory there has been contaminating
the bay of some fishing village.

00:15:38.727 --> 00:15:41.644
At first they called it "the strange
disease", then "dancing cat fever."

00:15:41.674 --> 00:15:43.646
And now it's simply called
the Minamata disease.

00:15:43.750 --> 00:15:44.769
It's fucking monstrous.

00:15:44.852 --> 00:15:47.064
I've been following it
in the Herald and the Times,

00:15:47.089 --> 00:15:48.811
small stories, every couple of months.

00:15:48.977 --> 00:15:50.436
But no one has really covered it.

00:15:50.686 --> 00:15:53.030
I mean it's in the goddamn fish,

00:15:54.936 --> 00:15:57.506
and that's all those poor people
have to eat.

00:15:57.852 --> 00:15:59.311
The Times has a Tokyo desk.

00:15:59.352 --> 00:16:01.852
And we have deadlines
literally in one hour.

00:16:02.019 --> 00:16:05.131
So that sounds to me, Bob,
like a... yeah,

00:16:05.644 --> 00:16:07.269
time is of the essence.

00:16:08.644 --> 00:16:11.561
And you know that the cover up

00:16:12.727 --> 00:16:15.602
is gonna be as much of a story
as the story itself.

00:16:15.936 --> 00:16:17.352
I gotta go, come on.

00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:18.977
You expect me to send you?

00:16:19.144 --> 00:16:22.478
- You'd be a real dumbass not to.
- Gene, stop.

00:16:30.686 --> 00:16:32.936
A moment, if you please.

00:16:40.269 --> 00:16:41.852
This is the story, Bob.

00:16:42.727 --> 00:16:45.102
- You know this is the story.
- I'm not sending you.

00:16:45.227 --> 00:16:46.048
What? Why not?

00:16:46.073 --> 00:16:48.561
Gene, I'm gonna throw you
out of the goddamn window.

00:16:48.596 --> 00:16:50.247
I wish you would have done that
the last time I was here.

00:16:50.311 --> 00:16:52.301
Gene, listen closely.

00:16:52.436 --> 00:16:54.936
If I don't send you...

00:16:55.894 --> 00:16:59.227
you can't fuck me on this,
you understand what I'm saying?

00:17:02.269 --> 00:17:04.644
- No.
- Call me at home.

00:17:05.060 --> 00:17:07.106
Don't call me here.

00:17:07.727 --> 00:17:10.867
And you can't disappear on me again.

00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:15.685
Bob...

00:17:18.185 --> 00:17:22.394
I would never disappoint you, again.

00:17:23.644 --> 00:17:25.977
Just try not to disappoint yourself.

00:17:31.641 --> 00:17:33.452
Kumamoto, Japan

00:20:01.602 --> 00:20:03.227
Gene, let's go.

00:20:03.436 --> 00:20:04.602
I'm coming.

00:20:16.954 --> 00:20:17.788
Hello.

00:20:18.852 --> 00:20:21.227
Take off your shoes.
Take off your shoes.

00:20:22.038 --> 00:20:23.704
- Excuse me.
- Thank you.

00:20:23.788 --> 00:20:25.996
Listen! Children are asleep.
So, let's be quiet.

00:20:26.436 --> 00:20:28.811
You must be quiet,
the children are sleeping.

00:20:30.186 --> 00:20:31.227
Okay.

00:20:32.829 --> 00:20:34.371
Thank you very much.

00:20:35.329 --> 00:20:36.538
Thank you very much.

00:20:37.246 --> 00:20:39.496
This is not much.

00:20:40.704 --> 00:20:42.038
Thank you very much.

00:20:45.579 --> 00:20:47.329
- Please, have some food.
- Thank you very much.

00:20:50.436 --> 00:20:55.811
Honestly I don't really have
so much of an appetite right now.

00:20:58.851 --> 00:21:01.686
But it's definitely coming back,
this food is...

00:21:02.852 --> 00:21:05.811
I'd like, I'm interested...
What is... I'm interested in this.

00:21:07.038 --> 00:21:08.079
Try this one.

00:21:15.163 --> 00:21:16.204
Is it good?

00:21:16.704 --> 00:21:17.871
It is good, isn't it?

00:21:18.288 --> 00:21:19.711
Is it good?

00:21:19.829 --> 00:21:21.704
- It is good.
- It is good.

00:21:22.204 --> 00:21:23.465
It is good.

00:21:34.621 --> 00:21:35.930
Well...

00:21:36.621 --> 00:21:37.746
Actually...

00:21:38.704 --> 00:21:41.038
It is hard to talk about those things.

00:21:41.329 --> 00:21:43.121
It is not just about us.

00:21:44.019 --> 00:21:46.852
It's not easy to speak
about certain things.

00:21:51.496 --> 00:21:53.746
Akiko is our eldest.

00:21:54.654 --> 00:21:55.843
Akiko is our oldest.

00:21:55.913 --> 00:21:59.288
They have tried to tell us...

00:22:00.038 --> 00:22:01.579
that what she has is cerebral palsy,

00:22:02.038 --> 00:22:03.371
but we knew better.

00:22:04.061 --> 00:22:07.853
They tried to tell us it was
cerebral palsy but we knew better.

00:22:09.393 --> 00:22:10.925
She was born ill and she still is.

00:22:11.029 --> 00:22:13.686
She was very sick and she remained sick.

00:22:14.204 --> 00:22:15.579
She will never get better.

00:22:15.623 --> 00:22:17.061
And she will never get better.

00:22:17.105 --> 00:22:18.269
But then...

00:22:18.746 --> 00:22:21.788
But our family bonds are strong.

00:22:22.227 --> 00:22:23.436
We are a strong family.

00:22:23.746 --> 00:22:26.496
Akiko is... our treasure.

00:22:27.269 --> 00:22:29.352
She is our treasure.

00:22:37.871 --> 00:22:40.371
We have six children,

00:22:40.871 --> 00:22:43.454
and we all work hard
to take care of Akiko.

00:22:44.204 --> 00:22:48.079
It takes five hours a day to feed her,

00:22:48.454 --> 00:22:51.954
but she brings us closer as a family.

00:22:53.788 --> 00:22:55.954
When you meet her, you'll see.

00:22:56.288 --> 00:22:59.538
She is a beautiful soul.

00:23:09.163 --> 00:23:14.288
We don't want to bring attention
to our family...

00:23:14.829 --> 00:23:17.163
but we don't have a choice.

00:23:19.663 --> 00:23:23.079
I drive a truck for Chisso.

00:23:23.288 --> 00:23:24.413
For Chisso!

00:23:25.954 --> 00:23:31.984
But it's not enough to take care
of a family with the needs we have.

00:23:42.894 --> 00:23:44.811
I will translate you later.

00:23:55.102 --> 00:23:56.394
Can you...

00:23:58.602 --> 00:24:02.019
Can you please thank
them for their kindness?

00:24:02.144 --> 00:24:05.644
Their generosity
and for their hospitality?

00:24:07.002 --> 00:24:09.686
And if it's at all possible...

00:24:10.852 --> 00:24:14.394
to photograph Akiko, perhaps tomorrow.

00:24:16.788 --> 00:24:20.579
- We thank you for your kindness.
- Not at all.

00:24:22.621 --> 00:24:24.704
If you don't mind...

00:24:25.038 --> 00:24:29.829
Can we take some photos
of Akiko tomorrow?

00:24:31.663 --> 00:24:33.079
Well really, that kind of thing...

00:24:33.788 --> 00:24:35.121
...you'll have to excuse us

00:24:35.371 --> 00:24:36.579
I'm sorry. No.

00:24:38.288 --> 00:24:39.371
I'm sorry.

00:24:43.788 --> 00:24:46.888
- I will make your beds.
- Thank you.

00:24:47.102 --> 00:24:49.894
- She will make our bed.
- Okay.

00:24:58.204 --> 00:25:02.954
- Please! There's nothing much left but...
- Thank you.

00:25:33.811 --> 00:25:35.219
Aileen?

00:25:37.286 --> 00:25:42.576
Would you mind to ask
if he might have just a little...

00:25:43.069 --> 00:25:45.401
- You know... snoop.
- Yeah.

00:25:47.246 --> 00:25:49.038
Excuse me! Excuse me!

00:25:50.704 --> 00:25:53.246
He seems that he cannot fall asleep.

00:25:53.913 --> 00:25:56.043
Do you have anything to drink?

00:25:56.371 --> 00:25:58.746
A drink?
Just one minute.

00:26:00.644 --> 00:26:01.727
Does he have something?

00:26:05.621 --> 00:26:08.165
- He loves whiskey for sure.
- Probably.

00:26:08.269 --> 00:26:11.227
- Whisky.
- Whisky.

00:26:11.579 --> 00:26:12.996
- Good.
- Good.

00:26:14.121 --> 00:26:16.038
- Good night.
- Good night.

00:29:59.436 --> 00:30:01.394
Many are tired of fighting,

00:30:01.644 --> 00:30:04.852
or they don't want to
bring attention to themselves.

00:30:05.311 --> 00:30:09.602
Then there's us,
the direct Negotiations Group.

00:30:10.019 --> 00:30:12.644
We are not so easy to keep quiet.

00:30:14.061 --> 00:30:15.269
I can imagine.

00:30:16.019 --> 00:30:20.311
Kiyoshi is one of the lead activist
for the direct Negotiations Group.

00:30:20.602 --> 00:30:22.238
Yeah, I got a light. I got a light.

00:30:22.977 --> 00:30:24.811
His son was born with the disease.

00:30:25.227 --> 00:30:29.436
Kiyoshi also has it,
but it's yet to be officially recognized.

00:30:32.019 --> 00:30:33.394
- Thank you.
- Sure.

00:30:40.436 --> 00:30:43.019
It's in my hands and in my vision.

00:30:44.269 --> 00:30:47.727
But it's my son, and those
like him, that keep me going.

00:30:48.269 --> 00:30:50.186
- Keep me fighting, you know?
- Sure.

00:30:51.186 --> 00:30:53.436
Does that ever affect
your ability to shoot?

00:30:55.144 --> 00:30:58.019
I may waste a little more film
than I should.

00:30:58.727 --> 00:31:01.727
But for some reason with the camera
I'm not so bad.

00:31:02.894 --> 00:31:06.099
What is...
What's your endgame in this?

00:31:07.352 --> 00:31:09.394
Chisso doesn't believe us, patients.

00:31:10.102 --> 00:31:11.811
They don't believe we're suffering.

00:31:13.602 --> 00:31:16.061
So we want to look
the President in the eyes.

00:31:16.727 --> 00:31:20.019
We want him to see us
and then tell us that we don't suffer.

00:31:21.394 --> 00:31:23.631
And what makes you think
he's gonna listen to you?

00:31:24.019 --> 00:31:25.102
I don't know.

00:31:26.227 --> 00:31:28.285
Maybe if we make a noise loud enough.

00:31:28.436 --> 00:31:30.174
They won't have a choice.

00:31:31.227 --> 00:31:33.681
With you, we have a better chance.

00:31:35.413 --> 00:31:38.051
Chisso Manufacturing Plant

00:31:39.255 --> 00:31:42.371
Last night I rode my bicycle
all the way up to Tsunagi...

00:31:43.038 --> 00:31:46.454
...because I heard about one family.

00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:51.246
At first, they didn't want to let me in.

00:31:52.871 --> 00:31:55.829
I asked them why...

00:31:55.954 --> 00:31:59.663
they haven't been seen
in the neighbourhood lately.

00:32:01.288 --> 00:32:06.579
I could see the shame on their faces.

00:32:07.954 --> 00:32:12.246
It turns out their young boy
was very sick with Minamata disease.

00:32:14.204 --> 00:32:17.954
I asked them to join us,
that we wanted help.

00:32:19.246 --> 00:32:24.079
They considered but ultimately
their shame won out and they declined.

00:32:24.288 --> 00:32:29.413
They love their son just as they should.

00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:37.329
In all cases of Minamata,
there is someone to blame.

00:32:37.829 --> 00:32:40.038
The suffering is caused by an evil...

00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:44.079
...that we know as a fact!

00:32:45.871 --> 00:32:47.038
So, here we are.

00:32:47.913 --> 00:32:51.496
We have a choice.

00:32:51.829 --> 00:32:55.038
We can let the world know.

00:32:55.371 --> 00:33:00.496
If we are loud enough, they will listen.

00:33:03.246 --> 00:33:05.079
Accept your responsibility!

00:33:05.663 --> 00:33:07.038
Come on!

00:33:08.038 --> 00:33:09.371
Accept your responsibility!

00:33:45.746 --> 00:33:47.663
Is he alone?

00:33:48.454 --> 00:33:50.788
I think so.

00:34:45.311 --> 00:34:46.811
I hate that shit.

00:34:52.394 --> 00:34:54.519
I used to fucking hate gym class.

00:34:55.186 --> 00:34:58.019
They used to make us
all sit down in a row.

00:34:58.436 --> 00:35:00.852
Cross-legged, you know?

00:35:02.019 --> 00:35:03.144
And I couldn't do it.

00:35:03.269 --> 00:35:05.227
My legs just don't work like that.

00:35:05.644 --> 00:35:07.186
They don't work like that.

00:35:09.727 --> 00:35:11.019
And the...

00:35:17.019 --> 00:35:19.352
I know you don't understand
a word that I'm saying.

00:35:19.644 --> 00:35:22.852
But that's not gonna stop me
from talking. So...

00:35:25.977 --> 00:35:28.227
You might as well just dig in, kid.

00:35:30.102 --> 00:35:31.436
Do you like jazz?

00:35:35.602 --> 00:35:39.977
Well, you better cause jazz...
jazz is what we have got.

00:35:40.977 --> 00:35:43.436
It's just fucking jazz.

00:35:45.186 --> 00:35:47.852
Improvisation, everything.

00:35:48.394 --> 00:35:49.671
See this?

00:35:50.977 --> 00:35:54.352
Anyone can do this,
anyone, takes nothing.

00:35:55.686 --> 00:35:59.311
You point, focus, click.

00:36:01.227 --> 00:36:03.644
And most importantly, fuck up.

00:36:04.727 --> 00:36:07.852
Fuck up, because,
that's the only way to learn.

00:36:09.102 --> 00:36:10.269
So...

00:36:11.582 --> 00:36:13.915
You take it, kid, I'm sick of it.

00:36:15.894 --> 00:36:18.644
I should have known better...
coming here.

00:36:20.352 --> 00:36:23.973
So you go on, play the music.

00:36:29.269 --> 00:36:30.522
I'm...

00:36:32.019 --> 00:36:34.436
I'm not really sure
if I can hear it anymore.

00:37:12.894 --> 00:37:14.144
I don't believe you.

00:37:14.311 --> 00:37:17.852
I mean, what kind of photographer
gives his camera away?

00:37:18.144 --> 00:37:19.644
Unbelievable.

00:37:22.227 --> 00:37:24.019
Passing the torch, Aileen,

00:37:24.227 --> 00:37:25.977
is how one dies gracefully.

00:37:26.055 --> 00:37:27.773
- Somebody said that once.
- You alright?

00:37:27.822 --> 00:37:29.727
What? Yeah, Kiyoshi.

00:37:31.122 --> 00:37:34.038
It's probably best you know this now,
I disappoint people.

00:37:34.186 --> 00:37:36.102
And I disappoint people always.

00:37:36.269 --> 00:37:37.489
Where are we?

00:37:38.269 --> 00:37:40.727
Aileen found you two
a little home to stay in.

00:37:41.436 --> 00:37:42.602
What? Really?

00:37:42.727 --> 00:37:44.769
- Yes.
- Me and her?

00:37:45.311 --> 00:37:46.356
Yes.

00:37:46.467 --> 00:37:47.894
Wow! That was nice.

00:37:49.019 --> 00:37:50.186
Come with me.

00:37:56.186 --> 00:37:58.852
We also put together
a dark room for you.

00:38:06.436 --> 00:38:08.727
I set it up just the way
you have back home.

00:38:53.894 --> 00:38:55.019
Thank you.

00:38:56.852 --> 00:38:57.894
Pleasure.

00:39:03.352 --> 00:39:05.436
<i>Gene, good news,
we're moving up your piece.</i>

00:39:05.769 --> 00:39:08.286
<i>I think we might have an issue
with more photographs than car ads</i>

00:39:08.352 --> 00:39:09.934
<i>for the first time for three years.</i>

00:39:10.019 --> 00:39:12.519
<i>It turns out there's a UN
environmental conference</i>

00:39:12.769 --> 00:39:14.894
<i>in Stockholm in a month,
very first of its kind.</i>

00:39:15.019 --> 00:39:16.727
<i>We need to coordinate two.</i>

00:39:16.972 --> 00:39:18.120
Gee-wiz Bob!

00:39:18.186 --> 00:39:21.977
I don't think I've heard you this excited
since they faked the moon landing.

00:39:22.144 --> 00:39:25.311
<i>Millie is shaking every tree
with an anti-nuke folks</i>

00:39:25.602 --> 00:39:28.019
and the WHO here and in Japan.

00:39:28.102 --> 00:39:30.186
We have all the science
to highlight your images.

00:39:30.269 --> 00:39:33.436
- Is he saving his receipts?
- So, how is it going out there?

00:39:33.852 --> 00:39:36.144
It's fun, it's fun.
I'm having a great time.

00:39:36.227 --> 00:39:38.670
I wish you were here
I'd let you buy me a drink.

00:39:38.727 --> 00:39:40.159
<i>There's no wiggle room
on this one, Gene.</i>

00:39:40.227 --> 00:39:41.644
<i>If we don't have
the images by next week</i>

00:39:41.727 --> 00:39:43.105
<i>we won't make it.</i>

00:39:45.118 --> 00:39:46.452
You know what? What?

00:39:46.496 --> 00:39:48.238
<i>- Gene...
- I got a bad connection, Bob.</i>

00:39:48.311 --> 00:39:50.467
<i>- I've got a bad connection.
- Gene...</i>

00:39:53.852 --> 00:39:56.570
I think that I might have had
a little something, drink...

00:39:56.644 --> 00:39:58.394
And I didn't even know
what I was doing.

00:40:13.186 --> 00:40:17.144
I asked the people to give
whatever cameras and film they had.

00:40:19.371 --> 00:40:22.579
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.

00:40:25.436 --> 00:40:28.186
Maybe you can join me
thanking the people.

00:40:29.019 --> 00:40:30.852
Oh yeah. Thank you. Thanks.

00:40:31.186 --> 00:40:32.333
Bow!

00:40:32.852 --> 00:40:33.894
Alright.

00:40:35.727 --> 00:40:36.894
Thank you.

00:40:38.644 --> 00:40:39.769
Thank you.

00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:43.519
That's my camera.

00:40:43.655 --> 00:40:46.394
- Is this yours?
Yeah, that's me, that's mine.

00:40:46.977 --> 00:40:48.519
Great. Got it. Alright.

00:40:50.227 --> 00:40:51.394
That's right.

00:40:53.454 --> 00:40:56.261
How do we turn it to photos?

00:40:56.394 --> 00:40:58.436
- What?
- How is it turning to photos?

00:41:01.711 --> 00:41:04.739
Then you turn it like this,
then turn it like this.

00:41:04.852 --> 00:41:06.519
Come here, you do it.
Give me your hands.

00:41:07.769 --> 00:41:09.894
Take that, okay?

00:41:10.602 --> 00:41:12.852
Put that hand there.
Okay, now, I got you.

00:41:13.752 --> 00:41:15.920
Just turn it like that, alright?

00:41:17.102 --> 00:41:19.014
- Like that.
- Aren't you afraid of

00:41:19.185 --> 00:41:20.838
touching me?

00:41:22.019 --> 00:41:23.852
You are not afraid to touch me?

00:41:27.352 --> 00:41:28.644
Why would I be?

00:41:35.394 --> 00:41:38.144
Your hands shake
because you have Minamata disease too?

00:41:38.644 --> 00:41:40.572
No, no, no.

00:41:40.703 --> 00:41:42.501
I just drink a bunch.

00:41:42.644 --> 00:41:44.019
What this kid's name?

00:41:44.852 --> 00:41:46.235
Shigeru.

00:41:48.936 --> 00:41:50.239
Gene.

00:41:56.561 --> 00:41:59.149
It's getting late,
maybe he should be in bed, no?

00:41:59.561 --> 00:42:00.644
Thanks kid.

00:42:10.521 --> 00:42:14.304
He wants to learn how to make
the film tape into big pictures.

00:42:14.602 --> 00:42:16.436
I'm not really here...

00:42:16.977 --> 00:42:18.852
to give photography classes.

00:42:19.102 --> 00:42:20.519
Especially kids.

00:42:25.269 --> 00:42:26.811
OK. I'll teach him.
I'll teach you.

00:42:29.811 --> 00:42:31.019
You take it.

00:42:31.852 --> 00:42:33.186
Here, you got it?

00:42:33.394 --> 00:42:35.311
And you go take some pictures.

00:42:35.727 --> 00:42:37.269
And we'll develop them later.

00:42:40.436 --> 00:42:41.644
Okay?

00:42:41.954 --> 00:42:43.158
Thank you.

00:42:44.811 --> 00:42:46.219
<i>Arigato.</i>

00:42:47.269 --> 00:42:48.436
Okay, pal.

00:42:55.519 --> 00:42:56.644
Pretty good that kid.

00:42:57.269 --> 00:42:59.092
- You like that one, huh?
- Can I have it?

00:42:59.811 --> 00:43:01.686
No, you can't just have it, no.

00:43:02.436 --> 00:43:03.982
Maybe I can help?

00:43:05.227 --> 00:43:06.766
You know...

00:43:08.352 --> 00:43:12.608
The Native Americans, they believed
that a photograph would take a piece

00:43:12.706 --> 00:43:14.673
of the subject's soul.

00:43:15.602 --> 00:43:19.330
But what gets left
out of the fine print is...

00:43:20.019 --> 00:43:23.936
that it can also take a piece
of the photographer's soul.

00:43:25.977 --> 00:43:27.894
You understand
what I'm saying? It...

00:43:29.644 --> 00:43:31.263
It will break your heart.

00:43:32.644 --> 00:43:34.394
So if you take it...

00:43:36.144 --> 00:43:37.644
You take it seriously.

00:43:39.436 --> 00:43:40.519
Agreed?

00:43:53.101 --> 00:43:55.103
Chisso Factory Hospital

00:43:57.751 --> 00:43:59.311
- This way.
- Put your stuff here.

00:43:59.496 --> 00:44:02.079
Put your stuff here.

00:44:08.121 --> 00:44:09.371
It's for my aunt.

00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:12.602
Goddamn!

00:44:16.061 --> 00:44:17.311
I'm glad that worked.

00:44:45.602 --> 00:44:47.186
- May I?
- Yes.

00:45:15.977 --> 00:45:18.492
OK, I'm gonna see
if I can find something

00:45:18.614 --> 00:45:20.616
we can use
at the shareholders' meeting.

00:45:38.227 --> 00:45:40.186
It's okay to take a picture.

00:45:40.436 --> 00:45:42.436
Just don't show his face.

00:45:43.519 --> 00:45:46.852
Alright, listen, people must see
what's going on behind the eyes

00:45:46.977 --> 00:45:48.977
because that's where the truth is.

00:45:49.352 --> 00:45:50.531
It's in empathy.

00:45:50.623 --> 00:45:53.754
- The thing... I need faces.
- We need empathy here.

00:45:57.644 --> 00:45:58.811
Okay.

00:46:21.769 --> 00:46:22.936
Thank you sir.

00:46:24.163 --> 00:46:25.860
Thank you very much.

00:47:01.936 --> 00:47:04.061
OK, let's go find the nursery.

00:47:10.644 --> 00:47:14.561
Let's... let's turn around
and go this way.

00:47:18.644 --> 00:47:20.186
Just keep going.
Just keep going.

00:47:21.936 --> 00:47:23.686
Just slip in here, quick, quick!

00:47:28.352 --> 00:47:30.977
Gene, Aileen, I found the lab.

00:47:32.352 --> 00:47:34.644
Dr. Yamashita has been
the chief doctor for Chisso

00:47:34.727 --> 00:47:36.561
since the first victim showed up.

00:47:37.352 --> 00:47:38.852
They had to be running tests.

00:47:39.019 --> 00:47:40.686
They must have found something.

00:48:39.436 --> 00:48:41.436
Hey, I found something.

00:48:46.561 --> 00:48:49.769
It says that the cat he fed
from Chisso pipe water

00:48:50.436 --> 00:48:52.311
reacted just like their patients.

00:48:53.686 --> 00:48:54.811
Spasms.

00:48:55.436 --> 00:48:56.686
Paralysis.

00:48:57.644 --> 00:48:58.811
Convulsions.

00:49:00.436 --> 00:49:04.602
Which is exactly what happens
when one is poisoned with mercury.

00:49:05.977 --> 00:49:08.769
It literally destroys brain tissue.

00:49:10.102 --> 00:49:12.936
And for 15 years they knew.

00:49:14.436 --> 00:49:15.644
They knew, Gene.

00:49:16.269 --> 00:49:18.311
And they kept poisoning people.

00:49:18.394 --> 00:49:19.654
Give me that.

00:49:20.436 --> 00:49:24.394
You turn around, pick up your camera,
check your settings.

00:49:25.644 --> 00:49:29.584
You cannot let your emotions
run the show

00:49:29.689 --> 00:49:34.061
'cause you will fucking lose,
and sometimes you might fucking die.

00:49:34.686 --> 00:49:37.519
Focus on the photograph you want to take.

00:49:37.811 --> 00:49:40.894
Focus on what you want to say.

00:49:41.644 --> 00:49:43.670
Do it now.

00:49:53.352 --> 00:49:56.352
Remember how it affected
your emotions, right?

00:49:56.727 --> 00:49:58.019
How did it make you feel?

00:49:58.352 --> 00:50:01.436
Was it unpleasant? A menace?

00:50:01.519 --> 00:50:02.602
There's an evil...

00:50:04.644 --> 00:50:06.644
So, you are changing...

00:50:08.352 --> 00:50:10.644
many things, yeah, okay?

00:50:10.936 --> 00:50:12.173
Now...

00:50:13.727 --> 00:50:14.811
Take it out.

00:50:17.269 --> 00:50:18.561
Throw it in the liquid.

00:50:21.186 --> 00:50:22.852
So, here's a little secret of mine.

00:50:23.769 --> 00:50:25.049
Use your hands a lot.

00:50:25.269 --> 00:50:26.644
Caress the image.

00:50:27.727 --> 00:50:32.061
Warm the print with your...
body, from your hands.

00:50:33.352 --> 00:50:34.852
That's how you tell your story.

00:50:39.944 --> 00:50:41.067
Yeah.

00:50:44.936 --> 00:50:46.561
Here. It's for your hands.

00:50:50.608 --> 00:50:51.686
Thank you.

00:50:52.727 --> 00:50:53.852
What for?

00:50:55.811 --> 00:50:56.769
Oh wait!

00:50:57.853 --> 00:50:59.977
Don't move, don't move, don't move.

00:51:04.769 --> 00:51:05.936
Click.

00:51:07.311 --> 00:51:10.436
Aren't you supposed
to ask permission first?

00:51:10.852 --> 00:51:13.144
Permission is like asking for a kiss.

00:51:13.303 --> 00:51:16.510
No, it destroys the moment,
you just gotta take...

00:51:21.269 --> 00:51:22.311
Like that?

00:51:23.686 --> 00:51:25.686
Something like that, yes, yeah.

00:51:30.936 --> 00:51:31.894
Just...

00:51:33.102 --> 00:51:35.727
Try not to forget
about the fine print, kid.

00:51:45.288 --> 00:51:48.704
<i>If human beings are still
the masters of creation...</i>

00:51:49.038 --> 00:51:52.288
<i>we have to overthrow this poisoned world.</i>

00:51:53.038 --> 00:51:54.496
<i>Is this civilisation?</i>

00:51:54.954 --> 00:51:58.954
<i>Is this the so-called
period of rapid growth?</i>

00:51:59.538 --> 00:52:03.038
<i>But done at the cost
of sacrificing countless lives?</i>

00:52:03.996 --> 00:52:07.022
Our beautiful blue ocean is now made
into a deadly sea by those people.

00:52:07.663 --> 00:52:11.704
So, if you are a human being,
please stand up...

00:52:12.413 --> 00:52:13.871
and fight!

00:52:14.413 --> 00:52:17.788
Remember, we never wanted a war.

00:52:18.329 --> 00:52:20.996
But we have to fight.

00:52:21.663 --> 00:52:25.329
Let's make this the last battle
for humanity.

00:52:26.288 --> 00:52:27.704
Please stand up!

00:52:29.436 --> 00:52:30.697
Go! Go!
Go! Go!

00:52:31.628 --> 00:52:33.436
- What are you doing?
- No. No.

00:52:33.644 --> 00:52:35.727
Gene!

00:52:37.644 --> 00:52:38.925
It's okay.

00:52:39.936 --> 00:52:41.017
I'll be back.

00:53:00.644 --> 00:53:03.630
Mr. Smith, come in.

00:53:04.727 --> 00:53:06.311
- Thank you.
- Please sit.

00:53:08.936 --> 00:53:10.977
Would you like something to drink? Water?

00:53:11.152 --> 00:53:13.408
You know, I actually think
I'd rather wait

00:53:13.513 --> 00:53:15.603
until I get outside the building
before I drop dead.

00:53:15.654 --> 00:53:18.269
So... perhaps a soda pop, you know...

00:53:18.436 --> 00:53:21.951
With the top still on it.
In the bottle.

00:53:22.644 --> 00:53:23.602
OK.

00:53:34.186 --> 00:53:35.436
Thank you.

00:53:36.644 --> 00:53:41.561
Mr. Smith, do you know
what "parts per million" means?

00:53:43.227 --> 00:53:45.811
Without getting confused
by all the science,

00:53:46.061 --> 00:53:49.186
it is a very, very small amount.

00:53:50.269 --> 00:53:53.519
And small amounts are accepted.

00:53:55.144 --> 00:53:56.519
Even in this bottle.

00:53:56.852 --> 00:53:58.977
Unopened bottle of Cola.

00:54:00.394 --> 00:54:04.644
There may be the tiniest amount
of some material

00:54:05.811 --> 00:54:08.894
you might not expect or appreciate.

00:54:11.019 --> 00:54:14.102
But it's microscopic, barely even there.

00:54:16.352 --> 00:54:17.644
May I show you something?

00:54:18.102 --> 00:54:19.352
Look over there.

00:54:23.644 --> 00:54:24.894
The cyclate.

00:54:27.436 --> 00:54:31.811
We spent much money creating a system
that keeps the water safe.

00:54:33.269 --> 00:54:37.269
I even drank from it
to prove its safety.

00:54:46.394 --> 00:54:48.811
It's a great photograph,
it's really a nice photograph.

00:54:49.352 --> 00:54:50.894
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

00:54:54.644 --> 00:54:55.864
So...

00:54:56.394 --> 00:54:57.686
Let's take a walk.

00:55:00.311 --> 00:55:02.227
Do you know what we make here?

00:55:03.769 --> 00:55:04.936
Toxic chemicals.

00:55:05.519 --> 00:55:06.894
Good chemicals.

00:55:10.644 --> 00:55:13.977
Chemicals that fertilize the land.

00:55:15.436 --> 00:55:17.436
Help feed millions.

00:55:18.394 --> 00:55:20.936
The chemicals needed to make plastics.

00:55:21.144 --> 00:55:22.727
Even medicines.

00:55:23.769 --> 00:55:27.769
Also chemicals for developing photographs.

00:55:28.561 --> 00:55:33.144
And chemicals that make 35mm film.

00:55:34.311 --> 00:55:37.436
Like the kind you use yourself, Mr. Smith.

00:55:38.609 --> 00:55:42.651
We employ over 60 percent
of the residents here.

00:55:43.311 --> 00:55:47.936
If the protesters succeed
and they put Chisso out of business,

00:55:49.644 --> 00:55:51.269
what happens then?

00:55:51.644 --> 00:55:53.227
I mean how the fuck would I know?

00:55:57.436 --> 00:55:59.936
I know that you're broke, Mr. Smith.

00:56:02.227 --> 00:56:03.686
That you owe money.

00:56:04.686 --> 00:56:08.311
And that you are
on the brink of getting evicted.

00:56:08.561 --> 00:56:10.144
You are correct, sir.

00:56:10.977 --> 00:56:12.186
You are very correct.

00:56:12.352 --> 00:56:15.019
But I've still got my youth.

00:56:16.227 --> 00:56:17.436
And my girly charm,

00:56:17.602 --> 00:56:18.977
which I think
will get me through.

00:56:21.436 --> 00:56:26.186
A father is supposed to provide
and protect his children.

00:56:27.727 --> 00:56:31.394
Obviously you care more about yourself

00:56:31.727 --> 00:56:34.186
than your own flesh and blood.

00:56:39.602 --> 00:56:42.644
Now you may choose to believe...

00:56:42.936 --> 00:56:45.769
the small amount of the local fishermen

00:56:46.269 --> 00:56:51.436
who claim that they have
somehow been harmed

00:56:51.727 --> 00:56:53.019
by our methods.

00:56:55.936 --> 00:56:59.436
But I am sorry to say

00:57:00.644 --> 00:57:03.061
they are the parts per million.

00:57:03.718 --> 00:57:06.968
Relative to the greater amount,
the greater good.

00:57:08.727 --> 00:57:11.894
You know, for a second there I thought
you and I was gonna be good pals.

00:57:12.061 --> 00:57:13.686
But I can see now

00:57:14.102 --> 00:57:18.727
that I was sadly mistaken, because you,
sir are full of fucking shit.

00:57:30.297 --> 00:57:32.135
- Please follow me.
- Certainly.

00:57:32.894 --> 00:57:33.936
Why not?

00:57:35.269 --> 00:57:37.936
Spanky and Alpha-alpha
gonna shoot me in the back?

00:57:39.852 --> 00:57:41.977
I am a business man.

00:57:43.102 --> 00:57:44.436
I make deals.

00:57:45.561 --> 00:57:49.644
Like we have done with the locals

00:57:49.811 --> 00:57:53.144
who have taken our payments
since the twenties.

00:57:54.436 --> 00:57:57.436
It is even a line item in our budget.

00:58:03.144 --> 00:58:05.561
Fifty thousand American dollars.

00:58:09.561 --> 00:58:12.852
Here's the chance to amend your sins.

00:58:16.144 --> 00:58:17.185
And...

00:58:19.227 --> 00:58:22.019
Provide for the people
that counted on you.

00:58:24.102 --> 00:58:27.019
You've had quite a career, Mr. Smith.

00:58:28.019 --> 00:58:30.519
What else do you need to prove?

00:59:19.579 --> 00:59:21.746
Chisso is winning back
the support of the people...

00:59:21.913 --> 00:59:25.371
because we're influencing
student activists...

00:59:25.538 --> 00:59:28.329
who are acting violently
against Chisso personnel.

00:59:29.163 --> 00:59:32.579
This is not who we are.

00:59:32.913 --> 00:59:35.163
Chisso are the ones acting violently.

00:59:35.496 --> 00:59:37.913
We need to stay together on this
or we'll lose.

00:59:38.288 --> 00:59:39.871
You know we'll lose!

00:59:39.996 --> 00:59:42.663
We've offered good terms.

00:59:42.829 --> 00:59:46.579
Chisso are promising
compensation will be quick.

00:59:47.538 --> 00:59:50.163
We don't want
any more fighting in the town...

00:59:50.371 --> 00:59:53.038
or shame brought to Minamata.

00:59:53.121 --> 00:59:55.288
Chisso is behind this.

00:59:55.871 --> 00:59:57.538
You are blind to it.

00:59:57.663 --> 00:59:59.121
That's not true!

00:59:59.371 --> 01:00:02.163
Is your goal to have Chisso
move somewhere else?

01:00:02.663 --> 01:00:05.197
That's what they'll do
and where will our town be then?

01:00:05.454 --> 01:00:07.630
This is not just about this town.

01:00:08.288 --> 01:00:10.403
It's about big companies all over the world

01:00:10.413 --> 01:00:13.466
invading the towns of
good, hard-working people,

01:00:13.913 --> 01:00:15.663
and polluting their existence.

01:00:15.996 --> 01:00:17.933
It's happened before...

01:00:18.246 --> 01:00:20.659
and it will happen again!

01:00:20.829 --> 01:00:22.442
Don't get so emotional!

01:00:24.329 --> 01:00:26.250
Calm down!

01:00:27.454 --> 01:00:29.180
Don't cause any trouble.

01:00:29.788 --> 01:00:32.020
We understand how you feel.

01:00:32.329 --> 01:00:35.275
We are all in the same pain.

01:00:36.079 --> 01:00:38.746
But we all want it to end.

01:00:39.788 --> 01:00:43.829
The signatures speak for themselves.

01:00:44.704 --> 01:00:46.288
The people have spoken!

01:00:46.601 --> 01:00:49.704
This is the right way
to settle the matter...

01:00:49.996 --> 01:00:51.329
for all.

01:00:51.402 --> 01:00:53.282
No more fighting!

01:00:53.579 --> 01:00:57.636
May we see the book?

01:00:58.663 --> 01:01:00.745
That's not necessary.

01:01:01.579 --> 01:01:03.621
Have you pressed your signature
on this document?

01:01:03.746 --> 01:01:04.805
No.

01:01:04.996 --> 01:01:06.038
And you?

01:01:08.163 --> 01:01:09.579
And you?

01:01:12.829 --> 01:01:16.663
They have overwhelming
signatures of support in the book...

01:01:17.454 --> 01:01:18.996
yet they won't show it.

01:01:20.454 --> 01:01:22.788
Do we believe this is fair?

01:01:23.163 --> 01:01:25.288
Let us see the book!

01:01:25.621 --> 01:01:28.246
Show us! Show us!

01:01:35.038 --> 01:01:38.121
That's my signature. I never pressed it!

01:01:38.829 --> 01:01:42.413
That guy is dead. How could he have signed?

01:01:42.829 --> 01:01:44.913
You're right. He is dead!

01:01:45.163 --> 01:01:46.454
What's going on here?

01:01:46.913 --> 01:01:48.038
Tell us!

01:01:48.288 --> 01:01:49.829
You're full of lies!

01:02:07.371 --> 01:02:08.591
Hello.

01:02:08.788 --> 01:02:10.694
- Welcome.
- Sorry for the intrusion.

01:02:10.769 --> 01:02:13.436
- Shoes.
- Oh, Goddamnit!

01:02:14.913 --> 01:02:16.079
Excuse us.

01:02:20.454 --> 01:02:21.663
Hello.

01:02:22.413 --> 01:02:23.538
Hello.

01:02:27.204 --> 01:02:28.490
Thank you.

01:02:30.954 --> 01:02:32.371
Let's eat together.

01:02:41.454 --> 01:02:42.650
Good, right?

01:02:48.436 --> 01:02:49.602
Can she see?

01:02:50.352 --> 01:02:51.769
- No.
- No.

01:02:51.977 --> 01:02:53.769
Akiko can't see or talk.

01:02:54.436 --> 01:02:55.769
She's congenital.

01:02:57.519 --> 01:03:00.440
The fetus has absorbed the mercury

01:03:00.935 --> 01:03:02.929
sparing the mother.

01:03:09.621 --> 01:03:12.788
Mr. Eugene, are you married?

01:03:13.371 --> 01:03:15.079
He has two children.

01:03:16.538 --> 01:03:18.288
Does he have photos of them?

01:03:19.186 --> 01:03:20.480
What?

01:03:20.686 --> 01:03:23.311
She's asking if you have
any pictures of your children.

01:03:24.269 --> 01:03:25.561
Of my children?

01:03:28.061 --> 01:03:30.820
You know, uh, no.

01:03:31.048 --> 01:03:33.481
I'm ashamed to say that I don't.

01:03:34.352 --> 01:03:35.436
It's bad.

01:03:36.288 --> 01:03:38.704
Unfortunately,
he hasn't got any photos of them.

01:03:48.811 --> 01:03:51.436
I need to help
Mrs. Matsumura at the market.

01:03:52.936 --> 01:03:54.051
Okay.

01:03:54.144 --> 01:03:55.483
Can you watch her?

01:03:56.644 --> 01:03:58.494
- What?
- Akiko.

01:04:02.519 --> 01:04:03.644
No.

01:04:08.269 --> 01:04:10.561
No, I can't do that.

01:04:10.686 --> 01:04:12.519
You'll be fine, we'll be back in one hour.

01:04:12.644 --> 01:04:14.436
I am not the most responsible...

01:04:14.561 --> 01:04:16.436
- Stop it.
- No.

01:04:19.913 --> 01:04:21.271
Let's go.

01:04:24.538 --> 01:04:27.621
I'll go out for a while.
Don't get worried.

01:04:28.829 --> 01:04:31.871
I'll give you a bath soon, Akiko.

01:04:34.186 --> 01:04:36.394
I'm not so good at these
kind of thing, you know.

01:04:37.436 --> 01:04:38.519
Sorry.

01:04:42.811 --> 01:04:44.227
Do you want to touch my beard?

01:04:44.811 --> 01:04:46.644
There is not many beards out here, right?

01:04:48.311 --> 01:04:50.102
Fuzzy? Fuzzy woozy?

01:04:57.436 --> 01:05:02.561

You're a good girl.

01:06:12.413 --> 01:06:14.288
That way, we can't interfere.

01:06:14.727 --> 01:06:15.811
You got company.

01:06:16.725 --> 01:06:19.329
- You are Yamazaki Mitsuo, right?
- We will search the place.

01:06:19.394 --> 01:06:20.384
What?

01:06:20.410 --> 01:06:23.113
- Get the children inside.
- Don't get in our way.

01:06:23.329 --> 01:06:24.513
Go. Go.

01:06:29.539 --> 01:06:30.638
Don't take photos!

01:06:30.746 --> 01:06:31.997
Don't resist!

01:06:33.246 --> 01:06:34.511
Don't resist!

01:06:42.913 --> 01:06:44.954
You should be ashamed of yourselves.

01:06:48.371 --> 01:06:50.829
Papa!

01:06:51.704 --> 01:06:52.954
They're gone.

01:06:53.496 --> 01:06:56.038
Papa!

01:06:56.163 --> 01:06:57.246
Everything is okay.

01:06:57.621 --> 01:07:00.288
Mama!

01:07:01.204 --> 01:07:03.329
Papa!

01:07:03.538 --> 01:07:04.766
Mama!

01:07:05.280 --> 01:07:06.780
Mama!

01:08:23.226 --> 01:08:27.351
<i>All I ask for are any negatives.</i>

01:08:28.436 --> 01:08:32.311
<i>Any photos you've taken
while you've been here.</i>

01:08:32.851 --> 01:08:36.561
<i>And that you go home immediately.</i>

01:08:38.652 --> 01:08:44.195
<i>And let what is happening here
play out here among Japanese</i>

01:08:44.601 --> 01:08:45.851
<i>in Minamata.</i>

01:08:46.851 --> 01:08:50.644
<i>In a community and courts
where it belongs.</i>

01:08:53.226 --> 01:08:56.101
<i>And where you don't.</i>

01:09:01.436 --> 01:09:03.226
On a scale of one to ten,

01:09:07.311 --> 01:09:08.519
fuck you!

01:09:33.436 --> 01:09:37.351
GENE IS AT WORK

01:11:07.352 --> 01:11:08.977
- Yeah.
- Are you gonna eat?

01:11:09.269 --> 01:11:11.102
Read the sign, Aileen.

01:11:12.561 --> 01:11:16.436
I am being nourished by my own hunger.

01:11:18.394 --> 01:11:21.769
And maybe just a tiny amount of whisky.

01:11:23.436 --> 01:11:26.269
And maybe just a tiny amount
of amphetamine.

01:11:28.394 --> 01:11:29.492
That's our little secret.

01:12:01.894 --> 01:12:03.436
♪ Somewhere ♪

01:12:05.352 --> 01:12:06.936
♪ Beyond the sea ♪

01:12:08.436 --> 01:12:11.061
♪ Somewhere waiting for me ♪

01:12:13.436 --> 01:12:17.644
♪ My love stands on the golden sand ♪

01:12:20.977 --> 01:12:22.519
♪ And watches the ships ♪

01:12:25.522 --> 01:12:26.750
Stop.

01:12:57.186 --> 01:12:58.301
Jesus!

01:13:00.519 --> 01:13:01.852
- Come.
- Bring water.

01:13:10.561 --> 01:13:12.352
No, Gene, no, no!

01:13:20.061 --> 01:13:21.436
Gene! No! Gene!

01:13:44.852 --> 01:13:46.269
No more of this! No! No!

01:13:46.561 --> 01:13:49.352
That's it. No, I'm done. No.

01:13:50.519 --> 01:13:51.936
Don't you dare follow me.

01:13:53.061 --> 01:13:54.644
I will ruin your fucking life.

01:13:57.269 --> 01:13:59.186
No more. I'm done.

01:14:35.644 --> 01:14:38.061
<i>- Yes.
- You have a collect call from Japan</i>

01:14:38.186 --> 01:14:40.686
<i>by a Eugene Smith,
will you accept the charges?</i>

01:14:41.894 --> 01:14:44.436
Can you ask him
to call me back in a few hours?

01:14:44.769 --> 01:14:46.394
<i>He is quite insistent that...</i>

01:14:46.519 --> 01:14:49.519
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'll accept the charges.

01:14:51.102 --> 01:14:54.311
<i>Hello Bob, Bob? It's terrible here.</i>

01:14:54.561 --> 01:14:56.436
<i>Uh, listen, no fucking chance.</i>

01:14:56.652 --> 01:15:00.152
<i>-  Gene, talk to me.
- Okay, I'm coming home.</i>

01:15:00.519 --> 01:15:02.269
<i>Now we're not gonna get the pictures.</i>

01:15:03.227 --> 01:15:05.352
<i>I mean I can't do this shit anymore...</i>

01:15:05.969 --> 01:15:08.144
By the way, it's been made
very clear to me now.

01:15:08.269 --> 01:15:12.138
That I'm seriously unwelcome here.

01:15:15.109 --> 01:15:18.213
Bob? Bob? What's wrong?

01:15:18.270 --> 01:15:21.493
I went to the goddamn nat for you
and you ask me what's wrong?

01:15:21.519 --> 01:15:22.852
<i>Well, I hear, I'm sorry.</i>

01:15:23.061 --> 01:15:24.514
I don't give a fuck what you are.

01:15:24.602 --> 01:15:27.020
Listen to me, I need the
pictures, Gene. I need this story.

01:15:27.080 --> 01:15:28.331
And I need you
to get me this story

01:15:28.352 --> 01:15:29.894
<i>- like nobody else can.
- No, you don't.</i>

01:15:30.894 --> 01:15:33.144
Big people hurt little people.

01:15:33.644 --> 01:15:37.436
Little people get hurt by big people.
Same thing here, same thing there.

01:15:37.463 --> 01:15:40.146
This picture, that picture.
They all burnt up in the fucking fire.

01:15:40.186 --> 01:15:41.358
Why does it matter?

01:15:41.436 --> 01:15:45.420
And memory is the goddamn devil.

01:15:45.488 --> 01:15:48.513
But the people over there, they matter,
right? I know that because you told me.

01:15:48.568 --> 01:15:50.401
<i>No, do you know what matters?</i>

01:15:51.602 --> 01:15:55.561
<i>- Money, money for my kids.
- Have you been drinking?</i>

01:15:56.460 --> 01:15:59.561
Of course not, Bob.
I'm a professional, Jesus!

01:15:59.852 --> 01:16:03.227
<i>Gene, hang up, go back to sleep.
In the morning it'll all seem different.</i>

01:16:04.102 --> 01:16:05.686
You listen to me, pal.

01:16:06.019 --> 01:16:11.479
I was recently quite reluctantly escorted
by a couple of goons

01:16:11.686 --> 01:16:14.799
to go and meet the top fella
at the Chisso joint.

01:16:14.852 --> 01:16:16.227
What the fuck are you talking about?

01:16:16.352 --> 01:16:18.852
He offered me
a whole lot of money, Bob.

01:16:19.436 --> 01:16:22.144
A whole lot of dough.
And I gotta say, I gotta say...

01:16:22.896 --> 01:16:24.451
The dough was awful pretty.

01:16:24.602 --> 01:16:26.977
<i>- And you told him how long and hard to go?
- Yes, I did.</i>

01:16:27.644 --> 01:16:29.519
<i>Yes, I did, like a dick.</i>

01:16:29.894 --> 01:16:31.561
And you know what,
I should've taken it.

01:16:32.061 --> 01:16:34.352
But I'm a dick, I'm a dick, Bob.

01:16:34.519 --> 01:16:36.019
Just like you're a dick.

01:16:36.602 --> 01:16:39.561
And you know what?
Here's what I'm gonna do.

01:16:39.811 --> 01:16:42.561
I'll gonna go right back there
and I'm gonna grab it.

01:16:42.769 --> 01:16:44.852
<i>- I'm taking it.
- Don't you dare!</i>

01:16:45.186 --> 01:16:46.186
Oh yeah, no listen...

01:16:46.436 --> 01:16:50.519
I'll wire it to you, you take back
the six grand that I owe you,

01:16:50.852 --> 01:16:54.436
and then you send this to my kids, OK?

01:16:54.894 --> 01:16:58.769
Not okay, Eugene, not fucking okay!

01:16:59.227 --> 01:17:01.269
You know how you always told me
how much your kids hated you?

01:17:01.320 --> 01:17:02.972
You think a couple of grand
is gonna make a difference?

01:17:03.019 --> 01:17:04.786
You really think your kids are that naive?

01:17:04.852 --> 01:17:07.102
Oh, fuck you! I don't need
to listen to that shit.

01:17:07.269 --> 01:17:09.186
You call me a sellout,
here is the irony,

01:17:09.311 --> 01:17:12.623
I did, I did sell out to the board, to the
boys with the abacus in the basement.

01:17:12.661 --> 01:17:15.333
<i>- And now I'm gambling the reputation...
- Bob, are you gonna give me a pep talk?</i>

01:17:15.394 --> 01:17:17.672
Because I actually might need
to vomit first.

01:17:17.852 --> 01:17:20.436
...67 percent ads and I'm losing.

01:17:20.727 --> 01:17:23.769
Likely I won't even have my integrity
to fall back on in my old age.

01:17:23.894 --> 01:17:25.436
But I will have yours!

01:17:25.769 --> 01:17:27.436
Damn it, Gene! I will have yours.

01:17:27.561 --> 01:17:29.894
I'll tell you what,
if there's any left,

01:17:30.102 --> 01:17:33.144
I will stuff it into a fucking box
and ship it to you.

01:17:33.165 --> 01:17:36.322
<i>I don't know how many more issues I'm
gonna be able to publish, but one of them</i>

01:17:36.427 --> 01:17:38.977
is going to have the most important
photographic essay of the last 30 years

01:17:39.028 --> 01:17:44.280
or I will personally fly out there
and kick your pathetic whinging ass.

01:17:44.852 --> 01:17:48.061
The kids in the office, the special ones,

01:17:48.436 --> 01:17:50.243
<i>- they don't look up to me.
- Hey, Bob...</i>

01:17:50.360 --> 01:17:53.445
They look up to you.
Because you matter.

01:17:54.144 --> 01:17:56.352
And in reference to your last comment,

01:17:56.561 --> 01:17:59.311
blah, blah, blah...

01:18:00.746 --> 01:18:02.819
Just bring me the story, okay?

01:18:03.436 --> 01:18:04.519
Bring the story home.

01:18:15.061 --> 01:18:16.519
Still there, Bob?

01:18:43.311 --> 01:18:45.019
What the fuck? What's this?
- Shigeru.

01:18:48.436 --> 01:18:50.593
You know there's a zoom
on that thing, right?

01:18:50.977 --> 01:18:52.102
Zoom.

01:18:59.019 --> 01:19:00.977
Do you have a gun or an aspirin?

01:19:02.686 --> 01:19:04.977
Or any drugs? No?

01:19:07.019 --> 01:19:08.793
You wanna take a picture?
Come here.

01:19:27.829 --> 01:19:32.246
Some people may come and go
with the best of intentions...

01:19:32.871 --> 01:19:35.413
but we can't count on them.

01:19:35.746 --> 01:19:37.413
This is our fight.

01:19:38.621 --> 01:19:40.454
Why do you think Chisso are hitting us...

01:19:41.329 --> 01:19:45.246
harder and harder?

01:19:45.913 --> 01:19:49.121
Why do you think they're getting
bolder and bolder?

01:19:51.913 --> 01:19:53.079
You know why.

01:19:54.829 --> 01:19:57.704
They can threaten us...

01:19:58.433 --> 01:20:00.380
but we are going
to the shareholders meeting...

01:20:00.484 --> 01:20:01.623
Excuse me.

01:20:02.186 --> 01:20:03.811
Excuse me, I just want...

01:20:04.220 --> 01:20:05.530
Would you...

01:20:05.742 --> 01:20:08.036
Would you mind translating this for me?

01:20:12.519 --> 01:20:15.061
Hi.

01:20:15.894 --> 01:20:18.352
I'm really no good at public speaking.

01:20:18.538 --> 01:20:21.079
I'm not good at public speaking.

01:20:21.144 --> 01:20:26.186
I suppose that I'm one of those "pictures
worth a thousand words" type of guy.

01:20:27.871 --> 01:20:32.350
I believe that a picture
is worth a thousand words.

01:20:32.454 --> 01:20:34.421
Anyway, that doesn't matter.

01:20:37.436 --> 01:20:38.894
I'm here to help

01:20:40.227 --> 01:20:42.021
if I can...

01:20:42.046 --> 01:20:45.852
But I need you to help me.

01:20:46.204 --> 01:20:50.291
I want to help you,
but I need your help too.

01:20:50.436 --> 01:20:52.144
By allowing me...

01:20:53.561 --> 01:20:58.875
to spend some precious time
with you and your family.

01:20:59.204 --> 01:21:03.369
I want to spend some
precious time with your families.

01:21:04.769 --> 01:21:08.102
So that I can help
to fight your fight.

01:21:11.163 --> 01:21:12.579
If I did this,

01:21:13.496 --> 01:21:15.079
I will be able to help you

01:21:16.413 --> 01:21:17.871
to win your fight.

01:21:18.519 --> 01:21:21.311
So... I mean...
The question is this...

01:21:23.186 --> 01:21:28.093
Who is comfortable and willing

01:21:29.561 --> 01:21:32.203
to share these...

01:21:32.529 --> 01:21:35.775
these very precious intimate moments

01:21:38.436 --> 01:21:44.572
and to be photographed by me
with the utmost care and respect?

01:21:51.163 --> 01:21:56.579
Does anyone agree to be photographed?

01:22:30.686 --> 01:22:31.998
Thank you.

01:22:33.519 --> 01:22:36.561
<i>Thank you. Arigato. Thank you.</i>

01:22:38.977 --> 01:22:40.156
What?

01:22:40.246 --> 01:22:41.663
Are you drunk?

01:22:42.061 --> 01:22:44.436
What? Is it good? Or is it not?

01:22:44.894 --> 01:22:46.269
Are you drunk?

01:22:47.019 --> 01:22:48.311
No one is ever drunk...

01:22:48.769 --> 01:22:51.727
If they can lie down on the floor
without holding on.

01:22:55.144 --> 01:22:56.561
We're gonna do this together.

01:24:10.825 --> 01:24:13.076
March 7th, 1971

01:25:58.621 --> 01:26:01.038
You are murderers!

01:26:33.954 --> 01:26:35.621
How many people are outside?

01:26:35.954 --> 01:26:37.746
Over 500.

01:26:37.954 --> 01:26:39.079
500?

01:26:39.246 --> 01:26:40.328
Yes.

01:26:51.394 --> 01:26:52.663
Get out of here.

01:26:53.019 --> 01:26:54.429
I'm staying by you.

01:26:56.519 --> 01:26:58.114
It's too dangerous, get out.

01:27:24.061 --> 01:27:25.227
Gene!

01:28:34.329 --> 01:28:35.413
Mr. President.

01:28:36.038 --> 01:28:39.288
We know there is verdict
that will arrive soon.

01:28:40.454 --> 01:28:46.288
We hope that Chisso will accept
responsibility for its negligence.

01:28:47.454 --> 01:28:51.871
We are not here for luxuries.

01:28:53.454 --> 01:28:55.496
Just to know that we will be looked after

01:28:56.704 --> 01:28:58.538
and able to die in peace.

01:28:59.704 --> 01:29:04.246
If you are human,
listen to what we are saying.

01:29:14.413 --> 01:29:17.329
I and Sadae Ogata.

01:29:18.788 --> 01:29:20.886
I understand that you don't know who I am.

01:29:21.621 --> 01:29:23.954
But you should.

01:29:25.413 --> 01:29:29.204
Both of my daughters fell ill.

01:29:29.496 --> 01:29:34.371
Both suffered more than I can imagine
anyone suffering, let alone a child.

01:29:36.829 --> 01:29:40.746
My eldest daughter suffered
from convulsions for months.

01:29:42.704 --> 01:29:46.496
So much pain that she couldn't cry.

01:29:50.121 --> 01:29:51.413
She is dead now.

01:29:54.038 --> 01:29:56.204
And my other daughter, Miyuki...

01:29:57.246 --> 01:30:02.954
will never be able
to spend a day without care.

01:30:06.163 --> 01:30:09.204
My husband and I cry often.

01:30:13.454 --> 01:30:19.496
We weep because we fear
for what will happen...

01:30:20.288 --> 01:30:26.038
when we are no longer able...

01:30:26.579 --> 01:30:27.913
to take care of her.

01:30:38.746 --> 01:30:39.954
Mr. President...

01:30:43.704 --> 01:30:45.246
You've got nothing to say?

01:30:49.204 --> 01:30:50.746
You are a human being too, right?

01:30:53.329 --> 01:30:54.538
We are the same, and yet...

01:30:55.079 --> 01:30:56.954
how can we be this different?

01:30:58.038 --> 01:30:59.246
How can we?

01:31:09.163 --> 01:31:11.788
I am sorry. I truly am.

01:31:37.311 --> 01:31:38.727
What? No.

01:31:39.038 --> 01:31:40.538
What happened to you...

01:31:41.121 --> 01:31:42.663
What you have gone through...

01:31:43.413 --> 01:31:45.454
brings sorrow in our hearts.

01:31:46.704 --> 01:31:47.998
Please forgive us.

01:31:51.102 --> 01:31:54.561
She said you treat her
with much dignity and respect.

01:31:55.269 --> 01:31:56.436
Thank you for that.

01:31:56.977 --> 01:31:59.436
She said you made her laugh.

01:32:01.019 --> 01:32:02.227
What the fuck is that?

01:32:06.454 --> 01:32:08.246
My child also has Minamata disease.

01:32:09.829 --> 01:32:11.246
He is nine years old.

01:32:12.621 --> 01:32:14.371
I work on the boats still...

01:32:16.121 --> 01:32:18.121
when the fishermen allow me to...

01:32:19.913 --> 01:32:21.288
but because of my symptoms...

01:32:22.329 --> 01:32:23.954
they don't want me on their boats.

01:32:25.413 --> 01:32:28.746
So, it's my wife that needs to work.

01:32:30.538 --> 01:32:33.538
She works on the boats sometimes...

01:32:34.038 --> 01:32:36.739
and many nights she is forced
to take care of both of us.

01:32:39.329 --> 01:32:41.788
She can't do that forever.

01:32:44.913 --> 01:32:46.079
Can she?

01:32:50.079 --> 01:32:51.288
Mr. President.

01:32:53.246 --> 01:32:56.829
We know that you will pay
for the old victims...

01:32:58.913 --> 01:33:02.621
but you must pay the same
for the new victims as well.

01:33:02.871 --> 01:33:04.663
It's your responsibility!

01:33:07.204 --> 01:33:08.496
Am I wrong?

01:33:15.663 --> 01:33:17.621
Mr. Uyishi, can I have a moment?

01:33:31.352 --> 01:33:33.269
Gene! Are you okay?

01:33:33.852 --> 01:33:36.540
I'm OK. I'm OK. What's this?

01:33:36.751 --> 01:33:39.727
Someone just brought it.
What the fuck is that?

01:33:40.602 --> 01:33:41.741
What is that?

01:33:41.811 --> 01:33:44.269
It came when you...

01:33:45.186 --> 01:33:47.102
It's the negatives from our dark room.

01:33:51.144 --> 01:33:52.269
I don't get this.

01:33:54.852 --> 01:33:56.436
Where did it come from?

01:34:23.954 --> 01:34:28.496
Thank you all for coming
and speaking with me.

01:34:31.663 --> 01:34:34.913
Your plight brings me much sadness.

01:34:45.413 --> 01:34:49.413
But we've added up
the costs of your demands...

01:34:49.954 --> 01:34:52.954
- However...
- We simply cannot pay.

01:34:53.413 --> 01:34:56.621
Unfortunately... this is our final answer.

01:34:58.038 --> 01:34:59.746
I can't take this anymore!

01:35:01.079 --> 01:35:02.829
Kyushi! Kyushi!

01:35:03.163 --> 01:35:05.704
They don't believe we're in pain.

01:35:13.788 --> 01:35:15.829
This blood is on your hands!

01:35:22.454 --> 01:35:23.609
Kiyoshi!

01:35:28.954 --> 01:35:31.038
Are you okay?

01:35:57.811 --> 01:35:58.894
We are ready.

01:37:03.954 --> 01:37:06.246
Can I move Akiko's legs?

01:37:17.288 --> 01:37:18.556
Excuse me.

01:37:24.621 --> 01:37:26.954
Can I move Akiko's left hand?

01:37:27.368 --> 01:37:28.531
Yes.

01:37:28.692 --> 01:37:31.168
Akiko, I will move your hand

01:37:48.852 --> 01:37:49.936
Good.

01:37:53.269 --> 01:37:54.436
Very good.

01:37:56.436 --> 01:37:57.602
Beautiful.

01:38:16.602 --> 01:38:17.977
- I can't.
- Wait.

01:38:29.019 --> 01:38:30.269
Fuck it!

01:38:42.394 --> 01:38:46.311
Do me a favor,
give me the... my shutter.

01:38:51.311 --> 01:38:52.436
Thank you.

01:38:57.436 --> 01:38:58.602
OK.

01:41:20.811 --> 01:41:22.436
Son of a bitch.

01:41:23.561 --> 01:41:24.977
He got it.

01:41:25.602 --> 01:41:27.061
He fucking got it.

01:43:15.079 --> 01:43:16.663
We have to pay.

01:43:18.454 --> 01:43:20.621
Somehow we will find a way.

01:43:45.663 --> 01:43:46.829
We must.

01:44:05.538 --> 01:44:06.880
We won!

01:44:16.829 --> 01:44:19.746
Today, we have won the battle.

01:44:20.871 --> 01:44:24.038
But the war persists.

01:44:24.996 --> 01:44:27.038
We must continue to fight.

01:44:28.454 --> 01:44:31.704
To fight for our children...

01:44:32.663 --> 01:44:38.163
so their children have something...

01:44:38.496 --> 01:44:40.621
that they can fight for.

01:44:41.663 --> 01:44:45.579
But all of you here...

01:44:45.996 --> 01:44:48.496
and the people who stood with us...

01:44:49.288 --> 01:44:53.079
have taught me that this a fight

01:44:54.663 --> 01:44:56.079
we can win!

01:45:01.163 --> 01:45:04.496
Go home tonight

01:45:06.371 --> 01:45:09.871
and find some happiness with your families.

01:45:10.288 --> 01:45:15.621
Because tomorrow we have more to do.

01:45:16.433 --> 01:45:21.479
To fight for those that cannot.

01:45:36.132 --> 01:45:39.361
In the Spring of 1971,
Chisso Corporation agreed to fully reimburse

01:45:39.466 --> 01:45:42.322
medical and living expenses
for the victims of Minamata disease -

01:45:42.394 --> 01:45:44.809
the largest total sum ever
awarded by a Japanese court.

01:45:49.566 --> 01:45:51.400
While this recognition
brought some relief,

01:45:51.504 --> 01:45:53.706
neither Chisso Corporation
nor the Japanese government

01:45:53.810 --> 01:45:55.961
has upheld the moral
and financial essence of this deal.

01:46:01.870 --> 01:46:03.747
In 2013, the Japanese Prime Minister
declared

01:46:03.851 --> 01:46:05.966
that Japan had recovered
from mercury pollution,

01:46:06.070 --> 01:46:08.376
denying the existence
of the ten of thousands of victims

01:46:08.480 --> 01:46:09.973
who continue to suffer today.

01:46:20.565 --> 01:46:24.433
Life Magazine published
its last weekly issue on December 19, 1972.

01:46:28.780 --> 01:46:31.716
"Tomoko in Her Bath" is considered
one of the most important images

01:46:31.820 --> 01:46:34.215
in the history of photojournalism.

01:46:36.439 --> 01:46:40.577
Gene and Aileen were married
on August 28, 1971, in Japan.

01:46:59.916 --> 01:47:01.308
Gene died on October 15, 1978 -

01:47:01.413 --> 01:47:04.105
indirectly as a result of the injuries
he received at the factory.

01:47:04.209 --> 01:47:07.592
The Minamata photographs
were the last ones he ever took.

01:47:09.726 --> 01:47:12.313
Aileen remains deeply engaged
with the Minamata community

01:47:12.417 --> 01:47:56.263
