What A Is About

After the sarin attack on the Tokyo subway in 1995, the leaders of Aum Shinrikyo were arrested and the organisation collapsed. Tatsuya Mori takes his camera inside the group’s compounds and records the members who stayed: what they eat, where they sleep, how they meet the trials and the public anger. At the centre is Hiroshi Araki, a young man pushed into the role of spokesman once the leadership was gone. The documentary neither defends nor prosecutes; its real question is why people who mostly knew nothing about the attacks are still there.
