Oral History
Movie Information
We asked random people on the streets of Japan the question: “What happened in and around Japan between 1900 to 1945? Please tell us as much as you know.” We shot only their mouths, so they wouldn’t have to feel embarrassed if they made mistakes in front of the camera. As expected, most people could not give correct answers. We collected 200 answers and edited them into one timeline, creating an image of a void in collective memory.
