Minamata Mandala plot

An epic about struggle and commitment. Sixty years after industrial wastewater led to an outbreak of severe mercury poisoning in the southern Japanese city of Minamata, patients and their families are still fighting for legal recognition and compensation. The waste, discharged from a chemical factory, has made the name Minamata synonymous with a terrible neurological condition. This film by Hara Kazuo, which took him 15 years, documents the inhabitants' difficult legal and medical struggles.
