Hello Steve, while I understand your critic - please note, that this was not the object of the movie - because this is a special theme and should have its own movie I think.

The scene with the signs is about discrimination of customers - and as Debtio states in the movie - there are such signs at several locations like restaurants, pools and so on.

Hello Steve, this was a very low budget documentary - which means especially very limited time. I met with Debito for the first time at Shinjuku station - he was in Tokyo because of a presentation of his new book.

While we walked and spoke about discrimination - we saw the "Japanes only" sign in kabukichô - it was not planned or so. I felt very lucky to film the conversation between Debito and the Club owner - because this is like an archetype of the way how discrimination in Japan works - as Debito points out in the movie - he would never go into such an place at all.

I think in this case it does not matter if it is a pool, a restaurant or even a nightclub - the mechanism of how discrimination works is always the same - and the night-club owners chain of causation is really prototypical.

The documentary is introductory in many points, because there is little knowledge about exploitation and migrant workers in Japan. I`m very proud of the audience it gained and the reactions in the media like "a must see" (kansaiscene) or "outstanding documentary" (culture news Germany) - especially because I know the limitations we had. We did 24 Interviews in 3 Weeks and were only a crew of 3 unpaid people.

I hope to get some producers to give me some money for doing a new movie about this big problem. Maybe the next time - we can give some more attention to the theme of exploited women.

Nonetheless, Thank you for constructive critic!

Actually we are shooting a new documentary on the nikkeijin toppic right now! More news later!

We are now in postproduction for the new documentary!
Infos will be follow soon!
