Descriptions:
This video features a discussion from the 17th Tokyo International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival held on July 20, 2008. Following the screening of the Academy Award-winning documentary Freeheld, former Osaka Prefectural Assembly member Kanako Otsuji and lawyer Toshimasa Yamashita examine the institutional barriers faced by same-sex partners. They explore themes of equality and legal justice inspired by Laurel Hester’s real-life battle for pension rights. Originally recorded at Aoyama Spiral Hall, this talk connects the film’s powerful message to the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ+ rights and recognition within social and legal frameworks in Japan and beyond.
