\nKei Yamamoto, writing for the citizen newspaper JANJAN<\/a>, has reviewed the film Japan’s Peace Constitution<\/a><\/em> (\u90a6\u984c\u3000\u300e\u6620\u753b\u3000\u65e5\u672c\u61b2\u6cd5\u300f<\/a>). The film is directed by John Junkerman<\/a>, who also gave us Power and Terror: Noam Chomsky in Our Times<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n

This documentary flick contains interviews with key intellectual in Japan and elsewhere, including John Dower<\/a>, Chamlers Johnson<\/a>, Noam Chomsky<\/a>, Hidaka Rokuro (a leading Japanese social theorist), and others. <\/p>\n

Also included are clips from an interview with Beate Sirota Gordon, who literally gave the postwar constitution the gender equality clause (I wrote about her a while ago on my blog<\/a>, but this site<\/a> is much more informative, as is the wikipedia entry<\/a>). <\/p>\n

The film is accompanied by a book in Japanese<\/a> with the same title. <\/p>\n
