Those Who Make Tomorrow

Set in postwar Japan, Those Who Make Tomorrow tells the story of two sisters—a film studio script girl and a revue dancer—who become involved in the labor movement. Their activism unfolds against the backdrop of a society grappling with the aftermath of war and the push for better working conditions. As they rally for change, their conservative father faces his own dismissal, prompting him to confront the realities of class struggle.

Produced by TOHO, this film highlights the importance of unionization during Japan’s Allied Occupation. The narrative not only sheds light on the sisters' individual journeys but also reflects broader social themes relevant to the era. Although considered a lost film today, its historical context and the socio-political undertones make it a significant piece from the postwar period.
