Black Box Diaries

In Black Box Diaries, nominated for the 2025 Oscar for Best Documentary, director Shiori Itō shares her story in a raw manner, combining personal recordings with investigative journalism. Set in Japan, the film goes beyond simply telling a crime story: it reveals the authorities’ negligence and highlights the strength of a woman confronting a flawed justice system. The result is a film that’s both moving and shocking, challenging outdated laws and prompting reflection on the culture of silence. A courageous testimony that cannot be ignored.
