At the end of World War 2, US ensured Japan would be restrained militarily & become a pacifist nation. But Japan is seeing a rise in nationalism, with a section of the public as well as political leaders debating the validity of Article 9 of its constitution that enforces pacifism & prevents it from developing militarily. This film captures this movement & also gives voice to those who oppose it.
