Documentary
It's the 2012 election for the governorship of Osaka. This documentary shows us some of the usual routine: well-known professional politicians backed by the influential and established parties, leading their campaigns. But among them we see candidates like eccentric “Mac” Akasaka, who has no chance of winning. Is it possible that we can still learn something about politics from him?
