The Nissan company was circling round the drain. Ghosn came in and turned it around and restored it to profitability. As a result, Nissan reciprocated by trying to get him thrown into prison. This is disgusting beyond words. There was absolutely no proof of any malfeasance. But that did not stop them. A horribly tragic example of no good deed goes unpunished.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY NISSAN PRODUCTS !!!

Some other aspects of Japan come out in the movie which are also very depressing.

Criminal courts in Japan have a 99.4% rate of convictions. This suggests that they are trying to outcompete North Korea in running a kangaroo court system. No honest court system can have a 99.4% rate of convictions.

It is apparently okay in Japan for folks to hate non-Japanese people, just because they are not of Japanese stock. I have met many wonderful Japanese people. But it is shocking that a significant fraction of the population would have such attitudes. By comparison, I am an American. But never in my life have I encountered anyone saying the non-Americans are a lower form of life.

The movie is very well made and in a straightforward documentary style. But you can't help but emerge very moved by this extreme injustice done to this man. Please note that nobody has ever proved any malfeasance on the part of Mr Ghosn; they merely drummed up accusations against him.

I do not understand the comment that the subtitles are inadequate. Maybe there was some early version where this was the case. But when I watched the film (February 2022), the subtitles were completely satisfactory. So if they were initially problematic, evidently this was fixed.
