Director / Producer
How to Break the Silence: How to Close the Gap is a short documentary film featuring interviews that explores how citizen media and individuals can actively engage with refugee issues in a media landscape where mass fail to report on them. More broadly, it is an experiment in collectively reflecting on how we can become more aware of the structural and political forces shaping the information bubble we passively inhabit, and how we can transcend the psychological distance that separates ‘us’ from ‘others’.
Produced in collaboration with Nana Komori, Nodoka Kawakatsu, Yumi Yamauchi, Yuzuki Inokawa
