Japanese Movie - 2020
I finally made it through a Japanese documentary (no shade, my options are limited, they tend to be somewhat slow paced, assume big picture knowledge i lack and go into finer detail than my limited knowledge can sustain strong enough interest in), so that rates as a big compliment here :) Ryuden's personality was a big help.

This was really well done. I can't be comfortable with a family business so dependent on child labour or the father, but much respect for the film makers.
