Black Box Diaries opens this Friday

In her powerful first-person documentary follow-up to her explosive memoir, Japanese journalist Shirori Itō courageously chronicles her investigation into her own sexual assault and subsequent struggle for justice in the face of Japan’s patriarchal, antiquated legal system.
