Here’s the schedule. \u00a0Director Daniel Kremers will be in attendance as a special guest:<\/p>\n

===================================<\/strong>
\nUPCOMING SPEECHES 2009
\nHosting screenings of SOUR STRAWBERRIES<\/a>: A documentary directed by Tilman Koenig and Daniel Kremers of Leipzig, Germany, anywhere in Japan in late August-Early September 2009. Please contact Debito at debito@debito.org to arrange a screening.<\/strong><\/p>\n

========= WHAT THE MOVIE IS ABOUT<\/strong> =========<\/p>\n

The documentary “Sour Strawberries – Japan’s hidden guest workers” was shot in March 2008 by a German-Japanese film crew in Tokyo. The movie shows migrants fighting for their rights as workers and citizens. The persons concerned are always at the centre of interest. While describing their situation, they are the protagonists of the movie. Contains interviews with NJ workers on their treatment, with input from people like migration expert Dr Gabriele Vogt, Dietmember Kouno Taro, Keidanren policymaker Inoue Hiroshi, labor rights leader Torii Ippei, Dietmember Tsurunen Marutei, and activist Arudou Debito, who gives us an animated tour of “Japanese Only” signs in Kabukicho.<\/strong><\/p>\n
