#5. Protofaschismus subsp. japonica pt 1, "Lovers waiting on a throw-bomb from Shanghai : Kaneko Fumiko and the early martyrs of feminism"

This week we embark on a new mini series in East Asia's 1920s. With the crutch of Korean political cinema lets walk through the rise of protofascism and its opposition. In the first two episodes we will follow the loving Kaneko Fumiko on her way to the gallows of high treason.
A love-story paralleled by the March 1st movement, the Kristallnacht of the great Kanto earthquake and the watchmen of Tokkō, “Japans Special Higher Police”.
