Synopsis
The president of the Japanese National Railways is found dead during a period in which train service is plagued by numerous layoffs, strikes and shutdowns. The government says that the president was murdered; the police claim it was a suicide. A quizzical reporter follows the case for years, but the basic question remains unanswered: was the victim killed by members of the burgeoning Communist movement in Japan, or was the death stage-managed by the authorities in hopes of discrediting the Communists?

•The adaptation of the Mountain Down Incident, one of Japan's three major mysteries, is very close to reality. Although it was a movie in 1981, the entire process was shot in black and white and interspersed with documentary footage from the time, giving it a particularly strong sense of history. •Although this film was released on DVD in 2002, there were basically no resources after that. Few people have watched it, so it can be regarded as a forgotten film. •The Americans were really unscrupulous in order to fight against communism. •Highly recommended.
