The Dark History of the Postwar Repatriation That Japan Tried to Forget

In the summer of 1945, a million Japanese civilians in Manchuria were still planting crops for a harvest they would never see. They had been told they were building a permanent future, but within days of the Soviet invasion, they became refugees in a country that no longer had a place for them. This documentary explores the "long aftermath" of the Japanese Empire. Discover why the state refused to plan for a civilian withdrawal and how families were forced to navigate a "legal void" where ration cards no longer guaranteed food and residency papers offered no protection. We trace the journey from the agricultural villages of the north, through Soviet labor systems, to the crowded reception centers of a defeated and occupied Japan.
