Watch Minamata
(2020)Minamata tells that in 1971 in New York, W. Eugene Smith, once a celebrated photojournalist of World War II, has become a recluse, disconnected from society and his career. However, Life magazine editor Robert Hayes offers him a secret commission to go to the Japanese coastal city of Minamata, which has been affected by mercury poisoning due to the gross industrial negligence of the Chisso Corporation. Smith immerses himself in the community and documents their efforts to live with Minamata Disease and their campaign to achieve recognition from Chisso and the Japanese government. Armed only with his camera, Smith's images give the disaster a human dimension and the assignment turns into a life-changing experience.
