Gewalt no Mori - Kare wa Waseda de Shinda - (English Subtitles)

[Machine Translation] Why did young people who aspired to revolution kill each other? Almost 50 years ago, on November 8, 1972, a young man was murdered on the campus of Waseda University's Faculty of Letters. He was Daisaburo Kawaguchi, a sophomore in the Faculty of Letters I. The cause of death was a horrific lynching by the Revolutionary Marxist faction of the Japanese Revolutionary Communist League (Revolutionary Marxist faction), a new left-wing faction that controlled the Faculty of Letters and Waseda University and aimed to dominate the university. The escalating storm of "internal strife" at the end of the student movement killed more than 100 people. The death toll exceeded 100. This book reveals the "theory of violence" that the idealistic youth of the time affirmed in the name of revolution. The absurdity of the "internal rebellion" is revealed in a short play directed by Naofumi Kogami, in which Uchida, Ikegami Akira, Sato Masaru, and others involved in the war talk about "that time". This is a mixed documentary that engraves the regrets and requiems of those who died and those who survived. Commentary enclosed.
