Hara caused an uproar in Japan with this warts-and-all documentary portrait of people living with disabilities. Despite being ravaged by cerebral palsy, the poet Hiroshi unabashedly displays his body in the streets of Yokohama. He and his housemates provide a transgressive counter-narrative to representations of the disabled as inherently noble, particularly in their drunken confessions, in which one man admits to rape. Hara’s powerful debut feature had far-reaching impact: the director and his producer were both sought out to help establish Japanese public health policy.
