Japan's Black Samurai: A Ugandan Asylum Seeker Turns to Filmmaking | Witness Documentary

Changes to Japan's immigration laws mean he could face deportation. Refusing to be reduced to a statistic, Sunday throws himself into an unlikely project: a samurai film inspired by Yasuke, remembered as Japan's first Black samurai. For Sunday, filmmaking becomes an act of survival, dignity and hope. Sunday in Japan is a documentary film by Antonio Rui Ribeiro, Leo Nelki and Golriz Kolahi.
