Filmed over 15 years, this three-part documentary chronicles the history of struggle for a community in southern Japan suffering from “Minamata disease” — a debilitating neurological disease caused by methylmercury poisoning from the consumption of fish contaminated by industrial wastewater — as they continue the decades-long battle for legal recognition and reparations from the government.
