Japanese Mafia - Who are the Yakuza? The cancer of a nation or a necessary evil in a country with one of the lowest crime rates in the industrialised world? Japanese Mafia (2013) Director: Sebastian Stein Writers: Sebastian Stein Stars: Daikaku Chôdôin, Shorai Horitoku, Jaime Morris Genre: Documentary Country: Japan, Germany Language: English Also Known As: Twilight of the Yakuza Release Date: 2013 (Internet) Filming Location: Tokyo, Japan(location) Synopsis: The Yakuza, Japan’s organised crime syndicates, are a dying breed. Their members are aging and the government of Japan has launched a large-scale crackdown on them to eradicate them once and for all. But who are the Yakuza? The cancer of a nation or a necessary evil in a country with one of the lowest crime rates in the industrialised world? Undoubtedly the Yakuza are involved in crimes including extortion, fraud, murder, drugs & gambling. However, Japan has one of the lowest crime rates in the industrialised world, with crimes related to drugs officially against the Yakuza code of honour or street gangs strikingly low, a fact that many contribute to the presence of the Yakuza. Deeply rooted in Japanese society, they are seen as a necessary evil and ‘problem solvers’. They have been around since the 1700s and were said to protect the weak from the strong, following a rigorous code of honour. Several clans even contributed aid for the victims of the recent earthquake and Tsunami, all reasons why the public perception of the Yakuza in Japan is not solely a negative one. Unlike the Mafia, the Yakuza is a legal, public group making them relatively easy to check on. Their offices are public, their members registered by the police and Yakuza members went as far as freely admitting their guilt in cases of crime investigations, as a part of their code of honour. In reaction to strict government measures against them, the Yakuza has ceased all cooperation with the law. As the police concentrate their resources on the Yakuza, many criminals simply don’t register with clans anymore and start operating underground, evading the grasp of police. A clear trend is emerging towards a new structure of organised crime in Japan, resulting in a steep decrease in the numbers of the traditional Yakuza while the underground is soaring – including foreign Russian and Chinese mafia’s. This documentary deals with the struggle of the Yakuza for its survival and the restructuring of the organized crime scene in Japan. Furthermore, unprecedented access to the secret world of the Yakuza gives you an insight on who the Yakuza really are: criminals, outcasts, but also family men and a part of Japanese society. Reviews: "Boxed in under increased police pressure and with a shortage of new members, the Yakuza have no place left in modern Japan and are going extinct. Interviewed in this film are current Yakuza members, a tattoo artist, a journalist, a policeman and a recently excommunicated gang member. Founded on principles of showing strength to the strong and compassion to the weak, they had a code of honour not found in modern gangs. I found the ex-member (Nakamura) sections to be quite sombre as gang life was all he had known for 37 years and now he is struggling to adjust to the normal world. Yes seeing a weird old man acting like he's still tough can be strange to watch, but he gives a lot of insight into his former life. His story is a sad one as he despairs over friends abandoning him and some failed business ventures, becoming visibly drunker and more emotional as the film progresses. To then hear that he perished soon after the film whilst in hiding from debt collectors is perhaps symbolic of the Yakuza as a whole slowly floundering and dying out in modern times." written by "aldrichg-81958" on IMDb.com Also Known As (AKA): (original title) Twilight of the Yakuza Germany Twilight of the Yakuza Italy Twilight of the Yakuza Netherlands Twilight of the Yakuza Poland Twilight of the Yakuza Romania Yakuza la apus Sweden Twilight of the Yakuza United Kingdom Twilight of the Yakuza MORE DOCS! ► Gold: https://bit.ly/2IRZ0OA ► World Economy: https://bit.ly/36QlhEM ► All Playlists: https://bit.ly/3lOiCll #finance #documentaries #economy COPYRIGHT: All of the films published by us are legally licensed.
