The Japan Society of Boston, New England Japanese American Citizens League, and MIT-Japan Program presents:



"Saving 10,000"

Film screening and discussion
 
In a war on suicide, who is the enemy? ‘Saving 10,000’ is the story of an Irishman’s personal passion to uncover the true causes of the high suicide rate in Japan. The disturbing findings include the Japanese media’s perverse love affair with suicide, a variety of cruel and predatory economic pressures and an outdated and failing mental health care system. With the help of front-line experts and ordinary Japanese, many touched by the horror of suicide, the movie delivers practical proposals on how Japan can win a war on suicide.
