Yuko bravely volunteered as an aid worker in Iraq but was kidnapped and held hostage. After her miraculous release, she returns to Japan and endures humiliation and harassment from her coworkers, boyfriend, and strangers on the street. Even her father is affected when his company receives threatening phone calls, and he is fired. BASHING is a heartbreaking tale of intolerance and intimidation beautifully acted by Fusako Urabe. Director Masahiro Kobayashi s bleak landscapes and minimal style underscore this shameful story loosely based on true events.
