On this episode of Adventures Through Asian Cinema Ben and Jack talk about the stark and brutal documentary The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On, directed by Kazuo Hara. Centred around a 62 year old WWII veteran Kenzo Okuzaki, this documentary follows him as he searches for answers about the unexplained deaths of two of his fellow soldiers. This is a radical and politically charged work with confrontational and tense execution, a must see for fans of boundary pushing documentaries.
