Oscar-nominated Japanese documentary that may never air in its own country - Shiori Ito’s film about her own alleged sexual assault has been screened at over 50 film festivals and won multiple awards

Shiori became the face of Japan's MeToo movement after she accused a prominent journalist Noriyuki Yamaguchi of rape. Her acclaimed directorial debut, based on her memoir of the same name, is a retelling of her quest for justice after authorities found the evidence insufficient to pursue criminal charges.

Journalist and #MeToo campaigner Shiori Ito apologised recently to those featured in "Black Box Diaries" without their permission, addressing a dispute over the Oscar-nominated documentary not yet released in Japan.
