YESTERDAY IS NOW reveals the divisions in today's Japanese society as 
it struggles with the question of how to consider the war and Japan's 
responsibility for the crimes it committed during its occupation of 
neighbouring Asian countries between 1895-1945.  These crimes include 
sexual slavery, slave labour, the use of humans in biological warfare 
experiments, and the massacres of civilians.

Frank and probing interviews with a diverse collection of individuals 
- families of the Japanese war dead, former soldier, A-bomb survivor, 
teacher, labour unionist, journalist, artists, students, politicians 
and right wing nationalists - together with archival footage and 
images from Japan's modern cityscapes make up a riveting chronicle of 
the country's dealings with the unfinished business of its wartime 
past.

Produced and directed by Celine Rumalean
Soundtrack by Sarah Peebles, Nilan Perera, Evan Parker, David Toop, 
and Jin Hi Kim
