Abstract

The article focuses on Toru Kubota, a Japanese documentary filmmaker whose work emphasizes storytelling as a means to foster empathy beyond argumentation. Kubota’s journey began as a political science student at Keio University, where he first engaged with Rohingya refugees in Japan, leading him to travel to Myanmar to document the conditions of displaced Rohingya Muslims. His experiences filming in internment camps in Rakhine State, including capturing a fire incident, shifted his perspective toward using film to convey the lived realities of marginalized communities. Following his imprisonment in Myanmar, Kubota became an advocate supporting exiled Burmese filmmakers along the Thai-Myanmar border. [Extracted from the article]
