Weaponstown

“Weaponstown” presents viewers with a unique people’s history of hitherto unknown Hirakata, located in Osaka prefecture, Japan. (As a teaching tool, the 45-minute video-documentary is designed to accompany Peasants, Rebels, Women, and Outcastes: The Underside of Modern Japan – 2nd edition and to model the use of ;; personal narrative as a means to unpacking the unmarked context-specific cultural narratives of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, class and national identity.)

Directed by Tamarah Cohen, 2008.

Language: English and Japanese.
