Journalist Shiori Itō turns the camera on herself in a breathtakingly courageous investigation of her own sexual assault, which resulted in a landmark case for the Me Too movement in Japan. From courtrooms to video diary entries, the film follows Itō’s 2017 court battle in real time, which is made all the more gripping by its palpable mix of journalistic acumen and harrowing trauma.
