One Hundred Years and Hope

This documentary provides an in-depth look at the Japanese Communist Party (JCP) as it approaches its centenary. Nishihara, who has been documenting youth protests in Japan, gained unique access to the JCP, focusing on younger members who bring a sense of hope to the party's mission.

Through this lens, the film delves into grassroots leftist movements and highlights the persistent patriarchal system that poses challenges to progress. It moves beyond mere political analysis, offering a view into the lives of those striving for change amid historical burdens and contemporary struggles.
