What happens when justice fails? And when someone turns to art to tell the truth the system refused to hear? Can a film do what a courtroom wouldn’t? In this powerful and emotionally charged Watch & Talk, we’ll view selected scenes from Black Box Diaries, a recent Japanese documentary made by journalist Shiori Itō, who was raped by a powerful man in Japan and then denied justice when the police refused to investigate. She turned her camera on the legal system, the silence, and the resistance she faced, and in doing so, created a deeply personal and courageous act of storytelling.

Hosted by Leon, a psychologist and lifelong lover of film, this session will explore the role of art in confronting injustice, breaking silence, and creating space for truth when official channels fail. Together, we’ll talk about how stories like this resonate far beyond one country, and how they raise questions about gender, power, trauma, and the systems we live in. Leon will help us reflect not just as viewers, but as fellow human beings, how we relate to stories of pain, courage, and the desire for change.

Let’s sit back with good friends in comfy chairs and watch scenes from a necessary and deeply moving documentary that challenges the boundaries of silence and justice. And, of course, let’s have a deep and intelligent discussion about our mutual cinematic journey.

当正义失败时会发生什么？当有人转向艺术讲述被系统忽视的真相时会怎样？一部电影能做法院做不到的事吗？在这个充满力量和情感的观看与讨论环节中，我们将观看《黑箱日记》的精选片段。这是一部由日本记者伊藤诗织拍摄的纪录片，她在日本遭到一位权力人物的强奸，随后因警方拒绝调查而未能获得正义。她将镜头对准了法律体系、沉默和她所面临的抵抗，借此创作了一部深具个人色彩和勇气的讲述。

由心理学家兼电影爱好者Leon主持，本次活动将探讨艺术在面对不公、打破沉默以及在官方渠道失败时为真相创造空间中的作用。我们将一起讨论，像这样的故事如何远远超越一个国家的范畴，如何引发关于性别、权力、创伤以及我们所处的体系的问题。Leon将引导我们不仅作为观众反思，更作为同为人类的个体，如何看待关于痛苦、勇气和改变愿望的故事。
