Those Who Make Tomorrow (1946)

1946 · 82 min · Drama

In postwar Japan, two sisters—a film studio script girl and a revue dancer—become swept up in the growing labor movement when workers around them strike for better conditions. As their conservative father opposes their activism, his own dismissal forces him to confront the realities of class struggle and join their fight for a fairer future. Now considered a lost film, Those Who Make Tomorrow was produced by Toho to promote unionization during Japan’s Allied Occupation.

Directed by Hideo Sekigawa, Kajirō Yamamoto and Akira Kurosawa. Starring Chieko Nakakita, Mitsue Tachibana, Itoko Kono, Yuriko Hamada and Michiko Kayama.
