Poster for the film '300 Meters Above Tokyo' Mainichi Shimbun Co., Ltd. has produced the feature-length documentary film '300 Meters Above Tokyo.' It is scheduled for sequential release nationwide, including at Pole Pole Higashi-Nakano (Nakano-ku, Tokyo), starting in October 2026. This co-production with director Atsushi Oogaki, who has worked on many visual works, sheds light on the reality of 'US military privileges' brought about by the Japan-US Status of Forces Agreement and considers their 'true nature.' While an increasing number of newspapers are focusing on video distribution, a project to achieve theatrical release for a documentary film is unusual. Please pay attention to the resulting work. Official Website for the Film '300 Meters Above Tokyo' The question is, what is the state of this country? The film primarily unfolds in Tokyo's US military facility 'Akasaka Press Center' in Roppongi, Yokota Air Base in western Tokyo, and Okinawa, where bases are concentrated. Chapter 1: Who Owns Japan's Skies? The film depicts the investigative reporting by journalists who approached the issue of US military helicopters in the heart of Tokyo. What became apparent was the flight reality that would be impermissible for Japanese helicopters. Interweaving past accidents such as those in Machida City, Tokyo (1964) and Okinawa International University (2004), the film exposes the unchanged state of this country even after 81 years since the end of the war. Chapter 2: Who is Letting Criminals Escape? It delves into the issue of secret Japan-US agreements and examines sexual violence by US soldiers, which continues to cause serious harm, and the Japanese government's stance. Chapter 3: Who are US Military Bases For? It listens to the thoughts of citizens confronting base issues, leading to the final chapter, 'The Stars and Stripes and the Japanese.' It re-examines the 'normalcy' of this country that has been neglected under the name of the 'Japan-US alliance.' Reporter Hiroy
