The Yakuza
A journeyman picture documentary about the japanese criminal organization "Yakuza". Often called the 'japanese mafia' this influential and widespread organization is known for its brutality and corruption all over the world. And also - mystified, as it is hard for an outsider, to actually get to know more about it or realize it exists, even when living in Japan.
Lately, the Yakuza have not only been involved in the usual corruption, brutality, drugs and assasinations but also in the growing and lucrative business of child ponography.
Journeyman Pictures creates a short but interesting insight in a somewhat mystical, deadly and dominant force - even in the 21st century.
