Bashing
2005 · 82 min · ★ 6 · Dir. Masahiro Kobayashi
A hero to the world but shunned in her own country.
Yuko is a Japanese girl who was taken hostage in Iraq while volunteering there as an aid worker. Finally released and back in her hometown, Yuko finds herself ostracized as a national disgrace by society that sees her helping a country other than Japan, and the embarrassment of getting captured but not killed, as things of which to be brutally ashamed.
