Join us for a free screening and discussio n of the confrontational documentary The Emperor&rsquo\;s Naked Army March es On. This gripping and unsettling film follows Second World War veteran Kenzo Okuzaki on a relentless mission to uncover the truth behind the unex plained deaths of soldiers in New Guinea. What begins as an investigation quickly becomes far more explosive as Okuzaki confronts former officers an d challenges Japan&rsquo\;s silence about its wartime past.

\n

After the credits\, stay for an engaging discussion exploring its raw\, unflinch ing documentary style. We&rsquo\;ll examine how director Kazuo Hara pushes the boundaries of non-fiction cinema\, raising difficult questions about justice\, memory and the ethics of confrontation. Together\, we&rsquo\;ll consider what it means to seek truth at any cost and whether that cost is ever too high

\n

This event is presented by Sow and Sew Cinema\, an independent Hamilton-based collective that \;fosters a vibrant cinematic communit y through thoughtfully programmed screenings that showcase culturally reso nant cinema from around the world.
