Yama – Attack to Attack

Yama – Attack to Attack (1985) is a documentary film directed by Mitsuo Sato, Kyoichi Yamaoka.

This extraordinary documentary is an unflinching record of the workers’ struggle during Japan’s economic rebirth in the 1980s, centered on Tokyo’s Sanya “yoseba”—a slum community dating from the 19th century where day laborers lived in terrible conditions while they sought work.
