Where Every Man Is the Wolf
The killers are only the biggest, baddest misogynists in the grim "Red Riding" trilogy.

A revisionist notion that has never gotten any serious traction, no matter how fervently the children of the 1930s isolationists keep putting it on the table, is the one arguing that America entered World War II under false pretenses. The argument isn't that the attack on Pearl Harbor didn’t take place — a whopper of that magnitude would have to await the historic breakthroughs in human credulity that have given us a staged moon landing and 9/11 as an American plot. It's that — or so they keep insisting — FDR knew about the attack in advance and kept his mouth shut because he wanted us in the war.

- School of Nature: The Children of Satoyama
It's an opportune time to explore Japan's relationship to nature, what with The Cove's Oscar win and yesterday's arrest in Tokyo of New Zealand anti-whaling activist Peter Bethune.
Surely this isn't the kind of profile the Japan Information Center is going for with its Japan and Nature Film Series, concluding Friday 3/12 at Columbia College with a free screening of Masaki Haramura's documentary School of Nature: The Children of Satoyama.
“Children will not grow unless they are put in a risky environment. They will not grow healthily unless they get injured, covered in mud and play rough and physical games," Eijyu Miyazaki says in the film. Haramura examines Miyazaki's iconoclastic pedagogy and its impact at the Kisarazu Community Nursery School in Satoyama, Chiba.
