A documentary focusing on the things and animals necessary for the Olympics in Tokyo in 1964.

This film documents a large-scale event organized by the Utagoe (Singing Voice) working class choral and musical movement that took place over the course of three days in Tokyo on November 27, 1954 at Kyoritsu Auditorium and Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. Tens of thousands of people from factories and farming villages across Japan take part. Folk songs from different local regions of Japan are sung and laborer choruses perform. Choruses and songs and dances from Korea and China are heard. The finale is a mass choral performance of “The Unforgivable Atom Bomb.”

A passenger train derailment occurred on August 17, 1949. In the aftermath, it was suspected that Communist sympathizers were responsible and people involved in an ongoing labor dispute were rounded up and put on trial. Starting from the premise that unjust verdicts were handed down in both the initial trial and on appeal, this film sets out to investigate the truth.
