You're watching history get erased in real time. The Sanrizuka struggle was a decade of resistance against state power, and this film documents it not through interviews or speeches, but through time-lapse sequences of dozers leveling the land itself, houses collapsing, earth moving, the physical proof of defeat compressed into minutes. There's no narrator to tell you what to feel. The abandoned homes and construction equipment do that work. This is what happens when a government decides your home is in the way, and you lose.

Built from footage filmed where the Sanrizuka struggle took place, this animated documentary looks at the fight against the building of Narita Airport. What unfolds is not a conventional narrative with heroes and villains, but a record of a place under pressure. Some scenes appear to have been shot just before and just after the Nihon Genyasai Festival held in Sanrizuka. Time-lapse passages show empty, deserted homes and heavy machinery flattening land that has been taken over for the project. The result is cinema as historical record, turning raw footage into a portrait of a landscape as it disappears.
