[ Story ]

Documentary following politician Ogawa Junya over a seventeen-year period. Director Oshima Arata's Theatrical - Kara Juro to Gekidan Karagumi no Kiroku won the 17th Japan Movie Critics Award for documentary film.
Lower house lawmaker Ogawa Junya grabbed the public spotlight for rectifying flawed statistical data in the 2019 Diet. The documentary picks up Ogawa's career during his first lower house bid as a Democratic Party candidate at age thirty-two and shows his dedication to national politics while dealing with the vicissitudes of his own party's policies.
