Black Box Diaries follows director and journalist Shiori Ito’s courageous investigation of her own sexual assault in an improbable attempt to prosecute her high-profile offender. Unfolding like a thriller and combining secret investigative recordings, vérité shooting and emotional first-person video, her quest becomes a landmark case in Japan, exposing the country’s desperately outdated judicial and societal systems. Black Box Diaries is dramatic, moving and determined to change a toxic culture. Premiered at Sundance Film Festival, Winner of Human Rights Award at CPH:DOX, Black Box Diaries has been an undeniable audience favourite at multiple film festivals. MTV Documentaries will distribute Black Box Diaries in the US.
