🎬 Movie

The documentary lens focuses on the practice of 'ijime'—systematic bullying within Japanese schools. It captures not just acts of psychological and physical torment but dissects the silent complicity of an educational system that allows classrooms to become closed ecosystems of fear. The film lays bare the mechanics of group dynamics, where victim, perpetrator, and bystander are all trapped by the same unspoken rules. It is an unflinching examination of social hierarchy, where childhood cruelty mirrors the pathologies of the adult world.
